Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last game in 3 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players around the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
