Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
