Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players around the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak.

Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount.

Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
