 Looking into the mind of a maniac October 15, 2008
After reading Gus Hansen's book "Every Hand Revealed" I found it to be an indepth look at the mind of a maniac. It really explains his logic for playing those "wtf hands?!" Why he would call using pot odds and probability. Aggressive play, yet avoiding the "all in" against opponents that could really rake him over the coals. The final table gets even more indepth, telling you why he played the way he did against Jimmy. It was a great read, and a different approach to TOURNAMENT poker. Please pass on this book if your looking for a cash game book.
 Harrington vs. Hansen October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you've ever read the Harrington series, then read Every Hand Revealed, you will instantly realize the two contrasting styles. Harrington obvisously has the more conservative tight approach, while Hansen's only approach is to play as many pots as possible...no matter what he's holding. The man loves to bluff. Who else is brave enough to raise with 94o in mid position??
I give this book 5 stars, because it shows you what type of players you will envitably play against at the tables. K7o, Q8o, Hansen played them all. This book definitely gets you inside the head of a maniac player.
You should definitely pick this book up.It's an easy read, and quite enjoyable. Even though you know that Hansen wins it all, you still find yourself cheering for him to pick up a pot.
And the best part is that you're looking at actual hands. Not made up scenarios.
Nice insight in the thinkings of a great poker player October 9, 2008

In this book several times poker champion Gus Hansen lets us in on his thoughprocesses around every hand he plays in a major tournament. You will get a lot of "Aha!" experiences when he explains his, at times, seemingly irratic play. A very entertaining book that is not too heavy on the head.
Great Insight into the Mind of A Master October 4, 2008
Watching pros play poker is often confusing. Some of their decisions seem strange, counterintuitive, and just plain wrong. This is especially true of Gus Hanson, who frequently makes plays that would seem clinically insane if it he didn't consistently wins huge amounts of money. Watching him go all in with nothing in his hand and no draws leaves the viewer wondering "What was he thinking?"
He answers that question in "Every Hand Revealed." He gives a play by play analysis of what he did, and why he did it, for every hand he played in the Aussie Millions tournament, where he finished first and won a million and a half dollars.
He's not embarrassed to discuss his mistakes in detail, or to admit that he did something because he just felt like it. He talks about when he was really thinking about his next move, and where he had already decided and was just putting on a show. He details the calculations he uses to make his decisions and talks about when to avoid coin flip hands and when they're worth the risk. He shows how he increases his chip stack with rotten cards, especially when the antis come into play, and how he uses his stack size to push other players around.
Will it make you a better tournament poker player? Maybe. It's not going to make you the next Gus Hanson, but it will show you how to use aggression creativity, the importance of stack size (both yours and your opponents) when making decisions, when to be aggressive and when to back off, and how unimportant the right cards can be in some situations. But even if it doesn't dramatically improve your play, it's a great read for moderate to advanced players.
AMAZING BOOK October 3, 2008
This book was truly amazing and surely one of a kind books that will spawn all sorts of hybrids that other people are sure to right based upon Gus' book.
