Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve final poker table 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 recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
