Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar 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 minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
