Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve final table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted 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 perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have won't have heard of. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes Omaha and hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
