Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold'em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
