Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last table in three 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing net poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
