Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the total dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
