Gus hits the jackpot July 22, 2008
Ms. Victoria Mai Wale (east sussex. uk)
'Every Hand Revealed' is an absolute must-read for all poker players in my opinion ...
I have a vast poker library and this is now one of my favourites. Gus takes us on his journey through his victory at the Aussie Millions hand by hand with his thoughts behind each move, acknowledgement of alternative strategies and then his reasoning for choosing the path he does.
Each chapter represents a different day of the tournament and begins with Gus's thoughts on preparation, overall strategy for the day etc. Each chapter then ends with a recap.
While I think some hands could have been omitted, they do add to the overall feel of playing the tournament on Gus' shoulder and sometimes in reality you do just get "napkins" after "napkins". Gus' explanations for moves are delivered logically and while it's not a strategy many would adopt it is certainly food for thought for those who are prepared and willing to expand their outlook.
When Gus makes bad plays ... he tells us. When he makes good plays ... he tells us. When he steams ... he tells us. When he misreads his hand ... he tells us. He tells us everything and in a very charming, readable manner.
Gus is a great poker player, and now, it transpires a great writer. I can't wait to get his next one.
I hate Gus Hansen! July 16, 2008
Mr. R. Patel (London, United Kingdom)
He makes it look so easy. Do yourself a favor. Don't read his moves and go out and start immediately playing any 2 cards as you'll lose loads!
You'll understand the methods to his "madness" proving that Gus is a very canny player indeed.
This is a great read, witty and informative. I found myself laughing out loud at some of gus's commentary at his own thought processes. Amazing to read exactly what his thinking whilst playing hands, almost puts you right there.

The first thing that I wil say about this book is - WOW! It is absolutely amazing!
The book follows the hands that Gus Hansen played whilst competing in the Aussie Millions event in 2007. Gus actually gived an insight into his playing and explains why he made the decision he did on each of the hands.
This is not your normal poker textbook. By going over his thought processes Gus has enabled even a poker novice to gain a better understanding of what to look for in a hand, when to fold, call etc.
I cannot reccomend this book highly enough!
