Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
