Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
