Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While betting on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world may be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
