Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
