Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last poker 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
