Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
