Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final game in three 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 may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players in the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
