Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in three of the events. 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot 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 may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen playing net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
