Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
