Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all 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 amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
