Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game 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 might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
