 Rating:  - Excellent bookThis is not a "How To" book but a comprehensive and complete version of "How Gus Hansen Did It" when he won the Aussie Millions in 2007. It is extremely insightful and well written and includes many nuggets for serious poker players. Rating:  - Don't read this book tooLet me use gus's insights to his tournament progression to beat you. i don't want to give you the added insights as to how to adjust play as the tournament progresses. let me win my first tournament first and then read this book. You can buy it, but don't read it. wrap it and open it for Christmas of 2012...buy then I should be able to cash and win a WSOP bracelet...after winning the aussie millions and a couple of WPT tournaments...DON'T READ IT!

Not sure who he is playing against but i find it hard to believe that people would keep giving him the pots without ever making a play against him. Rating: - It Works For MeI have read quite a few poker books and for me, the sample (and real) hands are what I found most useful. So naturally, this book intrigued me. It reinforced some of the things I was doing, showed me some things NOT to do, and gave me some other good tips on how people think at different stages of the tournament. I am about 2/3's through the book and played in a 90 person tourney last night and won it. DISCLAIMER: Admittedly, it required some breaks and good luck (just like Gus mentions countless ... Read More Rating:  - easy readnot a bad read. not a book for novices. you need to have working understanding already of tournament poker and the nuances of just playing. but for those who are starting out or just want a different from their own, its a good look into the mind of gus. the thoughts of course are solid and fairly honest as far as i can tell. |
