Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
