Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last poker 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 competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often 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 weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the total amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
