Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have won't have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha/8 and hold'em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
