Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often 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 gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
