Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
