Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
