Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
