Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While betting on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
