Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember 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 Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere 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 commonly plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
