Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last game in 3 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 might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
