Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While participating in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
