Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
