Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players around the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
