Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the events. 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 remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
