Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
