Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
