Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve final poker table in 3 of the events. 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 remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
