Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing game in three 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
