Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
