Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be seen participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hold'em and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
