Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
