Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
