What our customer's say!

"Great Poker Book", A must read for a Poker Player. By far the best poker book I own.

"Every hand revealed, but that's mostly it.", Gus Hansen takes us to a journey through his astonishing way of play, that most Hold'em players might find not only aggressive, but even in some cases absurd.

I enjoyed reading this book. However, this is definitely not a comprehensive poker strategy book. It's merely a review of every hand of the Aussie Millions Poker Tournament 2007 Gus took part in and how it was played, with some notes by Gus on why he decided to play it like that. He takes stack size, possible chip lead, his reads, bet sizes and much more into consideration before making a play, and the way he thinks and bets is presented briefly for every hand.
After each chapter Gus does actually propose a way of play for various stages of a tournament, but if you seek in depth analysis of such matters, you should probably read another book.

I do not regret the purchase of this book, because it provided some insights on the game of an acclaimed poker pro and could prove to be helpful in terms of enhancing my own play. Overall, it provides info on the (super)aggressive poker play and how Gus handles it. Judging by the first place and the money he won from this tournament, he does have his way.



"Insight into Excellence", Every time I've watched Gus Hansen play in the World Poker Tour, I always wondered what permutations his mind was running through. I mean, how can this guy be so aggressive and so successful tournament after tournament? It boggles the mind that his trademark style wouldn't eventually expose him to massive busts as players just decide "what the hell", let's just call him out.

Now we finally find out what goes on in the brain of a champion. His aggressiveness is a coolly calculated approach determined carefully hand by hand throughout a tournament. He has almost a preternatural ability to sense the right play through a lens of mathematical objectivity while combining that with a carefully considered intuitive feeling for his opponent's play. For those of us who occasionally fantasize about playing at the professional level, seeing Hansen's play through his actual tournament decision making skill set is extremely humbling. This is written clearly and understandably, even if we couldn't possibly absorb his entire approach to play at his level. However,there is much useful learning here that can improve poker hand decision making skills for anyone who is serious about their play.

Definitely worth reading, particularly if you are interested in playing tournaments yourself.


"Makes you want to play tournaments", I bought this book after reading the reviews on Amazon, and I have to say I was quite happy with the purchase. I actually couldn't put it down. Gus goes over all the hands he was part of, is self depricating, shows that he got lucky, but most importantly, goes over how he reads situations and bets out accordingly.

Like a lot of poker books, the lessons he teaches are not necessarily straight forward, but they are there, and they are plentiful.

I wish more players would do this kind of book.

Kudos Gus on a great book.

"Get inside of Gus's Head!", I was waiting for a book like this! Extremely entertaining and gives a lot of insight to Gus's mind. If you have the tourney recorded, you can actually see the hands, and look for tells that Gus is talking about. It really gives you an idea what a "maniac" is thinking about raising with T9o when "under the gun".

DO NOT TRY TO USE HIS STRATEGY AT HOME, unless you are above intermediate level poker player. Even if you think you understand why what he does at the table at home, you HAVE to be Gus Hansen to make it work. You are not. I hear people saying "a very aggressive player, like Gus Hansen, D.Negreanu, Micheal Mizrachi, etc". The truth is, you cannot put players in the same "aggressive" category. For example, D.Negreanu and G. Hansen are TOTALLY different players with different styles. Negreanu plays "small ball, check-call poker" preferring to make post flop decisions himself using his insane reading ability, while Gus likes to play bigger pots, and put his opponents to the test. Gus does not mind going all in when he thinks the situation is favorable, while Daniel hates to be all-in unless it is the best play. It is just not his style.

With that said, the most important thing why Gus's plays work is the table image (that he does not have to establish every time he comes to a new table, his image follows him everywhere). Thats his advantage, and thats why his plays work. Everyone knows that Gus Hansen is Gus "I-can-have-any-two-cards-in-any-position" Hansen. Thats why if you raised early position with two red aces, and Gus called you on the button, it is extremely difficult to proceed on the flop of 3-6-7 with two clubs on the board when Gus puts you to the test for all your chips. After all he is Gus, what makes you think he is not holding 4-5 in his hand, and you are drawing slim to dead.

Get this book! Read it! Enjoy it! Learn from it! DO NOT DO IT AT HOME!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Nice insight in the thinkings of a great poker player", 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", 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", 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.

"Very intriguing book", Very good book. This is basically a recap of every hand Gus played on his way to winning the Aussie Millions main event.

Great look into the mind of a dangerous and tricky player...

Tons of hand analysis, obviously. Very interesting to see the good hands, the bad hands, the steals, the bluffs that worked, the bluffs that didn't... You can sense his mood swings up and down, sense the changes in momentum... a very engrossing and stimulating book.

Lots of good insights here.

This book is really for intermediate to advanced players... there's very little here for beginners, and it would probably be confusing to novices, as you'll never find another poker book on the planet advising to raise from first position with J-5 offsuit in first position!!! For advance players, though, I think you'll find the insights to be quite revealing and stimulating to your poker thought process...

"Highly enjoyable book about poker thought processes, not "HOW PLAY POKAH"", This is a very refreshing and fun read. You do have to know the basics of no-limit Texas hold-em, and have some basic understanding of the theory behind the game, but you don't need to be an expert to enjoy this book and get something out of it. It is NOT a book on how to play. It is a deep examination of how Gus thinks about each and every hand at the table, including many that would be ignored as inconsequential by others, but always with a reason. For examply, he will include a hand where everyone folds to his big blind and gives him a walk. Not very interesting in itself, but it's included because in this case Gus is a stubborn blind defender, and an occasional walk is the benefit he reaps for his stubborn defense earlier in the game.

In analyzing every hand he plays (and he plays a lot of hands), he also lets you in on the key skills that are required to play loose-aggressive, namely putting people on hand ranges and playing accordingly and relentless pressure in the right spots, plus when to just let it go. I found his analysis insightful.

In addition, the book is just damn well written and fun to read. This is one of the books I carry around just to crack open occasionally to a random page. Gus can be quite funny, and this book is a great relief from the dryness that afflicts so much of poker literature.

In terms of what kind of poker book this is, I'd put it in a category with Greenstein's Ace on the River, with the following differences: Ace is more accessible to the layman, and Every Hand Revealed is more deeply engrossing from a theory standpoint.
