Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
