Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
