Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last poker table in 3 of the events. 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 high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
