Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
