Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT 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 paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
