Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
