Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that 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 little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker 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 greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
