Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final table in 3 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
