Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can't buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and hold'em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
