Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can't buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won't have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
