Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
