Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in 3 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 might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
