Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
