Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN 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. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
