Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
