Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
