Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
