Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes most of the ability 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 total amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
