Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing table in 3 of the competitions. 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 largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu's full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players around the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can't buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha hold'em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
