Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors around the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I think television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes.

He generally participates in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
