Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
