Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large 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 enthusiasts in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt..

Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
