Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players around the world. While betting on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
