Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While participating in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
