Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can't buy in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
