Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
