Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last game in three of the competitions. 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 high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can't buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
