Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full amt..

Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
