Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
