Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, 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 deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
