Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
