Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
