Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
