Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally 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 know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
