Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the min 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 outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
