Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
