Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing game in 3 of the tournaments. 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 largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
