Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
