Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
