Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can't buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold'em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
