Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing 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 might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

I believe television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won't have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
