Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While gambling on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
