Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
