Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final 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. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While gambling on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
