Posted in Poker on 05/28/2020 11:25 am by Marley
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in three 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. Hansen secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
