Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the final table in three 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 might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
