Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
