Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. 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 regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
