Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he can't buy-in for the total amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
