Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hold'em and hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
