Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last 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 biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
