Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
