Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world could be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
