Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
