Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
