Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 high 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 deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha/8 and texas hold'em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
