Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
