Book Reviews of Every Hand Revealed

Book Review: Impressive and useful.
Summary: 5 Stars

I don't know what I expected from this book.

But I'll tell you what I got:

Basically, Gus goes through, chronologically, several hands per orbit of a big tournament that he was successful in. For each hand, he states his hole cards, the blinds/antes level, and his present chipstack.

For each hand, he more or says what was going through his mind (he recorded his thoughts during the tournament), and describes what options there were for each decision, and why some were discarded out of hand, and why others were chosen for further scrutiny. He is pretty honest about when he thinks that he (or another player) at the table made a complete idiot play.

I think as we all know, the general Eurodonkey style of poker is ridiculous to watch, and ridiculously -EV almost all of the time. If it weren't for Eurodonkey poker, I wouldn't make as much money as I do in tournaments. Gus, of course, is a classic Europoker guy in spirit, but the difference is, he manages to insert a good bit of sense into his crazy play, and you can really see that quite clearly in this book. For all of the outward appearance of pure aggression that he gives, you will see that Gus is only rarely putting chips into the pot without a positive expectation; his expectation, you discover, is based on mathematics, tournament position, and, occasionally, "reads" (e.g., noticing that an opponent "looks like" he desperately wants a free card and would not pay to see the next card to his draw). None of his play is reckless adrenaline-based aggression.

The book has therefore been quite helpful to me in that I can see that the classic Scandinavian-maniac style of poker, WHEN WIELDED BY A SENSEI such as Gus, is in fact dangerous. It has also given me a window into the weaknesses of my own personal very tight play, which I can plainly see is susceptible in very material ways to a Gus's kind of aggressive style; in the past, I have simply waited to snap-off overly aggressive players, with a good deal of success. Gus, however, is un-snappable, and were I to face Gus, I realize that he'd clean up my chips while I was "waiting to snap him off", and then when the moment came to snap him off, he'd escape from the pot before I could do any damage.

This book is a "buy" in my opinion. It has easily been among the most helpful books I have read, and has given me a clear window into the narrowness of my own play.
