Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. 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 against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors around the world. While betting on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be players you have won't have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
