Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in 3 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes 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 absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
