Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players around the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
