Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final 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 might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
