Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
