Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
