Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
