Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final poker table in 3 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 big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen 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 best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best 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 best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
