Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
