Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
