Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve last poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
