Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
