Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve final poker table in 3 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players around the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
