Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world might be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
