Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
