Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can skew our perception 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 net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hold'em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
