Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing game in 3 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 largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
