Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While participating in web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
