Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the last poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. 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 pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won't have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
