Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
