Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last game in 3 of the events. 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 remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
