Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
