Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
