Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
