Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
