Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not 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 regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
