Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge 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 around the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
