Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
