Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. 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 pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
