Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
