Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in three of the tournaments. 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 remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
