Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
