Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
