Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing game in 3 of the competitions. 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 recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
