Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can't buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
