Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. 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 biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
