Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent 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 play at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value.

Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
