Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
