Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last table in three of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
