Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
