Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
