Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually 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 Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
