Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing game in 3 of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
