Posted in Poker on 03/01/2024 12:25 am by Christopher
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
