Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
