Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
