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 competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel's full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can't buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
