Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
