Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last 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 may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
