Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
