Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
