Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value.

Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
