Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won't have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
