Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I think television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
