Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in three of the competitions. 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
