Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
