Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three 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 may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
