Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
