Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
