Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in 3 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 recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players around the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently 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 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world could be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
