Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
