Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
