Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best 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 every now and then. The greatest players in the world may be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
