Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
