Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
