Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen 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 big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
