Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up 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 gamblers in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
