Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
