Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
