Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
