Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player.
