Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players around the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best 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 greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
