Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players in the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum 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 regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
