Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
