Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
