Summary: 5 Stars
Every Hand Revealed is a excellent example of teaching at its best. You are not just given well I did this and he did that. You have laid out before you the strategies and thoughts of one of the greatest poker mind of the 20th century. Some may dispute that last fact. But if you look at Gus Hansens body of work and the changes he has made to his game you will realize the reason he is one of the greats. It is because he has been able to adapt to the changes in the poker scene. Not only adapt but flourish, while others are just getting by. I have read this book once already and am now going back through it and studying each and every move and the reasons behind them. You need this book if you plan on being a winner in the game of Poker.Book Review: Every hand revealed, but that's mostly it.
Summary: 3 Stars
Gus Hansen takes us to a journey through his astonishing way of play, that most Hold'em players might find not only aggressive, but even in some cases absurd.
I enjoyed reading this book. However, this is definitely not a comprehensive poker strategy book. It's merely a review of every hand of the Aussie Millions Poker Tournament 2007 Gus took part in and how it was played, with some notes by Gus on why he decided to play it like that. He takes stack size, possible chip lead, his reads, bet sizes and much more into consideration before making a play, and the way he thinks and bets is presented briefly for every hand.
After each chapter Gus does actually propose a way of play for various stages of a tournament, but if you seek in depth analysis of such matters, you should probably read another book.
I do not regret the purchase of this book, because it provided some insights on the game of an acclaimed poker pro and could prove to be helpful in terms of enhancing my own play. Overall, it provides info on the (super)aggressive poker play and how Gus handles it. Judging by the first place and the money he won from this tournament, he does have his way.
Book Review: Every star well-earned
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally Gus, finally. I have been dying to know what is going on inside that shaved head of yours.
This book has such a unique format and is miles ahead of any other poker book on the market. What other book on the market will offer you 329 real and connected hand examples? Forget all the theoretical mumbo-jumbo - this is the real deal.
What I found most excilarating is that you actually get a glimpse of what it really takes to win a big field, high buy-in tournament. It is not just a couple of double-ups here and there, or Gus getting lucky every other hand. It is a long journey with ups and downs and huge mental pressure.
Gus - looking forward to your next book!
Book Review: Excelent insight !
Summary: 5 Stars
Gus comments on almost every hand all that matters, not only his cards, but the other players stacks, images, range of cards, taking the reader step by step into his his thought process.
Very interesting as he comments what would be his prefered play, why he did or did not do that at the time, and gives many good tips.
A must have book for the insight on many situations and for the different style of showing the events. Recommended !
