Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. 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 everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
