Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have won't have heard about. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
