Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
