Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold'em and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
