Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
