Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one 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 perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
