Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
