Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three 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 might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players 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 best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
