Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history 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 strongest enthusiasts around the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
