Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can't buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
