Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
