Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
