Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the competitions. 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 largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently 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 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
