Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the final poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
