Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
