Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
