Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
