Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve final game in three of the tournaments. 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 recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
