Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently 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 accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere 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 best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
