Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in three of the competitions. 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
