Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
