Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing game 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players around the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha high and hold'em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
