Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the competitions. 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 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 thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
