Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 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 history 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 enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
