Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen 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 know Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
