Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
