Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
