Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
