Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
