Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While participating in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
