Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
