Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in 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 in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
