Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in three of the events. 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 history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can't buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
