Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
