Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
