Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit 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 presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. 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 will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
