Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
