by Kole on Friday, February 24th, 2017

Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player 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 recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
