Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hold'em and texas hold'em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
