Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last poker 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 remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
