Every Hand Revealed

I loved this book!!! If you've ever wanted to know how a top player REALLY thinks about the game, this is the book for you. Even though Gus Hansen doesn't say all that much about how you should play, just him letting you in to how he thinks is worth the price of the book and more.

I'll be honest, I don't really play that loose. But I still liked seeing how good Gus was at it. He is awesome!

There are a lot of poker books out there these days. But this one is really worth it. When I finished it, I felt like I had really learned something about how top players think when they're at the final table. Best of all, you get to see the entire road to it from beginning to end.

This is the best poker book I've seen so far, specially for those users that want to learn the aggressive style.

Gus Hansen definitely proved there is reason to his madness.

The title says it all. You basically come very close to understand how Gus Hansen -one of the few poker legends- thinks, through this epic journey of the 300 odd real hands played at the aussie millions 2007.

This actually takes real guts, because Gus is not afraid to reveal his way of thinking to future opponents.
Every pro should follow on Gus's lead.

Hansen has told us every secret, every though-process, every musing that he experiences throughout a tournament, a tournament in which he won $1.5 million. I was amazed at how frank he was during EVERY SINGLE HAND. Yes, every hand he didn't fold, he analyzes. And its not just, bet, get check-raised, fold...kind of analysis. He explains, in minute detail, why he makes EVERY decision. What amazed me is the extraordinary amount of work it must have been to write out and record, every flop, every suit, every turn and river, every decision the other person makes, right down to the opponent squirming in their seat. It is obvious, this man has an incredible memory to provide such details. All this information simply could not be recorded or written in the time frame it takes to deal one hand to the next.

I used to think this man sold his soul to the devil when I saw him on the World Poker Tour. The enlightening thing is, he actually plays the quality hands for the huge pots, and simply limps or puts in a light raise, in position, with the rags you see him play on TV. Really gives you the confidence to pull the trigger yourself with such poor holding, given the detailed instruction.

The final point, and the best one, is that you actually feel like you are at the table in the seat next to him. The book works like a well-scripted movie, from opening scene of him receiving his chips to the final act of winning it all. The best thing is, it's not scripted one bit. The book is not dry in the least, and in many parts, quite humorous.

A ***** poker book. Thumbs way up!

A must read for a Poker Player. By far the best poker book I own.
