Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum 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 certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
