Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in 3 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big 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 strongest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He 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 weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
