Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in 3 of the events. 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 largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
