Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While playing net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
