Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
