Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. 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 familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
