Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While competing in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in 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 full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
