Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final poker table in 3 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. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
