Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in three 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 remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes Omaha and texas hold'em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
