Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can't buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
