Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
