Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the last table in 3 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 might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world could be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
