Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in 3 of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
