Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently 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 believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have won't have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hold'em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
