Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that 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 play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
