Book Reviews of Every Hand Revealed
Book Review: If you had to buy just 1 book on NLH, this would be it.
Summary: 5 Stars
Once in a while a book comes on a subject which revolutionizes all previous thinking. This is one of those books. It's not a book for beginners. It is for those who want to take their game to a different level. If you really want to be at the top level in any game, probably the best way is to get into the mind of the real experts and understand why they do what they do. This book reveals what went into Gus' mind when he did what he did during the Aussie Millions and the thinking that went into doing what he did. It's magnanimous of Gus to share all these strategies....yes, everything....but then like he rightly says, " The most important skill of a succcessful poker player is to change gears and thereby always keep the opponents guessing!"
Buy this book. I assure you, you won't be able to put it down once you start it. I DIDN'T!!
Book Review: One of the best poker books I've read!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best poker books I've read, and believe me, I've read a bunch! This book is a MUST READ if you are a MTT (multi-table tournament) player. If you are ring/cash game player, just move on and find another book as this is not for you.
As you read more and more of this book, you realize that Gus is really NOT a madman after all! He explains his reasoning for every move he makes. Though he takes you through the math he uses to make many of his decisions, you won't find any graphs or charts listed in this book. This book is simple to read, but definitely not for a beginner. You certainly need a basic understanding of MTT play. In his hand by hand descriptions, he explains how he feels about the situation, what he feels his opponent is holding and the reasons for his actions. This book is DEFINITELY worth reading!
Book Review: If you're serious about poker then this should be in your collection.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you wonder what goes on in a professional poker player's head then this is the book for you. I have always wanted to know their thoughts process, even as an example, and this is as close to any book that I have ever read. Although the material gets redundant about 3/4 of the way into the book, it's still good, and because that is how he approach the game at that stage of his career.
The book is funny at some point. The writing is easy to read. Gus does teach a bit about the game from time to time. Over all, he tells us how and why he played his hands.
Some of benefits of this books is that he shows us a specific style which actually worked for him and all of his hands sample were real ones. Often, I read books where the hand examples were made up to full fill a point and therefore bias to me.
Book Review: Awesome!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read 3/4 of Every Hand Revealed over the last couple days and I have to say I'm very impressed. I have read many books on poker, but Gus Hansen's book is in my opinion the most educational tournament book you can buy. He lets the reader know what he was thinking about every hand he played in a major tournament that he wins. I have read all but the final table and I can say my attitude about holdem tournaments has changed. Well worth the $. If you're like me,an average player at best, this book will teach you to play with more confidence.
Now back to the final table!
Now that I have finished the book I have to say that I can see why I had so much trouble winning at NL Holdem tournaments.
I believe this book is a must for poker players that struggle in tournaments.
Book Review: reads like a thriller; teaches like a prof
Summary: 5 Stars
My pattern for learning and reading about poker goes something like this: read a book by Sklanksky, Harrington, Chen, et al...play, LOSE, keep playing, something eventually clicks...WIN. Immediately during and after reading Gus' book, something in my playing just clicked, and I started WINNING right away. The loose aggressive style is described theoretically in other books, but it's handled expertly in this one. If you learned the tight aggressive style from the conventional poker literature, read this and add another gear to your engine.
The innovative form, witty narration, and thoughtful hand analysis make this a thoroughly enjoyable read. It's packaged in soft paperback, at a bargain price. I couldn't put it down.
