Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
