Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not 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 know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best 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 greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
