Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest 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 at times. The best poker players in the world might just be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
