Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
