Book Reviews of Every Hand RevealedBook Review: "Folding is out of the question!" Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of the few poker books that is an actually entertaining read. If you have just a basic knowledge of poker (and understand slang/lingo) you will get a kick out of this book.
There are tons of books on 'systems' 'strategy' and all the rest. This is a different way to talk someone through a certain poker mindset and the grueling days of a poker tournament. And that's what is really great about this book. He admits sometimes he plays in ways that don't really make sense or fit into a system. Sometimes you just get a feeling about a certain hand or bet or player.
The other thing that really helps this book is, unlike watching WSOP on ESPN (or any other poker program) is that they cut the 'nothing' hands. Here, Gus leaves no hand unturned (in a sense) even he was forced to edit out some mucked hands, but in any situation where he threw chips in, he writes about it. And he wins those pots before the flop on a regular basis- one of his keys to building up the war chest for bigger pots to come.
He talks a good amount about the mathematics of hands and pots and how to bet, but it doesn't really bog down the flow of the book (that kind of stuff is better explained elsewhere, he's just talking shop). If you like poker, you will enjoy this book.
