Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
