Book Reviews of Every Hand Revealed

Book Review: Good book, great perspective on tournament strategy
Summary: 4 Stars

I really enjoyed reading this book by Gus Hansen. He is a very interesting player with a very interesting style, and I liked reading how he approaches a tournament and how he thinks through a hand. The book literally lists each hand that Gus played in the Aussie Millions, and it was nice to see how many hands are won preflop or after the flop in order to get a realistic picture of how tournament poker works. The greatest benefit of the book is that it introduces and emphasizes the feel aspect of tournament poker, instead of pure numbers and hypothetical situations that make up alot of the hold 'em tournament books out there.

I was amazed at how many hands Gus was involved in where he didn't make any kind of legitimate poker hand, and how many of those he won. A large percentage of the hands he plays end up with no pair, no draw after the flop but due to pure aggression and relentless pressure Gus wins a good number of those. I think these types of situations present the most important lesson of the book: that in tournament poker the most important thing is chip accumulation, whether or not you actually make a hand. If you sit around waiting for big hands preflop or the nuts after the flop your chip stack will dwindle and you won't have any ammunition later in the tournament when the blinds are high. Gus does a great job of showing how to win pots with no hand and how to keep your chip stack growing regardless of the cards you're dealt, because statistically you simply won't get dealt great hands that often.

Alot of the hands in the book are won preflop, with Gus raising and everyone else getting out of his way. While I liked seeing how often this happened and how important it is to pick up pots preflop in good position, it was a liiiiittle boring to read, and therefore my reason for the 4 star review (well, that and the excessive use of exclamation points). But Gus' writing style is very casual and very easy to read and he is very honest about his play and often second guesses himself and the decisions he made in this tournament, which was refreshing to see.

I've already read all the Harrington books, and while they're fantastic for learning advanced tournament strategy, I found myself playing too tight and boring afterwards. This book helped me realize the aggressive side of poker, and that sometimes the cards in your hand don't matter at all and you have to attack pots frequently to keep growing your stack and stay in the hunt in a tournament. If you sit around waiting for AK all day, you're simply not gonna have enough chips to last 'til the final table. This book really gave me the courage to play the right way and instead of being scared to put chips in the pot, now I actually look forward to betting and being involved in more hands. I think a combination of Harrington's fundamentals and Gus' aggression will lead to an excellent and winning tournament style. It sounds cheesy, but after reading this book I felt inspired to play and went to a local bar tournament and won the whole thing. Not a huge deal, but it was nice to see such a quick turnaround in my game. Gus' strategies and fearless syle had alot to do with it. Overall great book and highly recommended.
