Help yourself, buy this book !!! July 14, 2010 FireFrog 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm only 100 pages into this book but I've decided to write my 1st Amazon review anyway! The book is so great it deserves it.
Amazingly enough, I think it reads like a novel. I'm just compelled to follow the 'Madman' hand after hand, as if I were in the 'Being John Malkovitch' movie (nothing to do with Teddy KGB, of course ;-))
I've read Slansky, Brunson, Harrington and many others; and I value Harrington for all he did to my gameplay ... but this is way beyond!
Once you know the essentials about Poker, like odds, hand requirements, the few techniques the everyday-player has, then you just have to open this book and enter in Wonderland!
It gives so many insights about the game that I decided to comment on it immediately!
I'm a conservative rock-like player, but thanks to this book I've just discovered the only one way to understand the true essence of Poker through the aggressive approach of the Danish genius.
It has nothing to do with hands' selection or your table position ... the truth is in your head, how imaginative you are, how clever you can be.
In my opinion, this is the most challenging book of them all: are you able to think? That's what the Master's asking you: Are you able to enter you opponent's mind while you focus on your sometimes-shaky strategy?
I'm only just French, so I lack the words to tell you how great this book is.
But if you believe me, you just buy it ... and it'll add to your bankroll before you even realize it!
Not everybody can play like Gus June 24, 2010 M. M. Davis 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I don't mean that not everybody has the ability to play like Gus. (Though that might also be true.)
What I mean is that Gus's style depends on sitting at a table where there are very few other loose-aggressive personalities. If large numbers of people started playing like Gus, Gus would have to go toward the style advocated in Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play. It's not a style that can be emulated successfully by large numbers of people. Effectively, Gus is a parasite upon the tight-weak Hellmuth/Harrington types. If that's what you aspire to, go for it.
Really good book June 22, 2010 Marcos F. Magalhaes (Pembroke Pines, FL) I really enjoyed reading this book. I like the way Gus explains his hands, highlights critical hands (good and bad ones) and it shows his strategy throughout the tournament. His language is clear; he is funny, mocks himself sometimes, but never loses focus on the main goal: take pots and be in the final table, ultimately winning if given a chance. Great reading. I also liked the stats section, where you have the record to prove that his aggressive play worked.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a beginner (like me). Additionally, buying a book with more focus on pot odds and different strategies would complement this. At least, that is what I will do.
funny and information packed reading June 21, 2010 Jonas S. Hoeggstroem (zug, switzerland) I almost read the book from cover to cover.
Gus Hansen describes all the hands in Aussie Classics big NL Holdem tournament that he eventually won.
It is a good book for NL Holdem players that can help improve your game, lots of valuable tips.
I would recommend this book to intermediate and advanced players. You need to know the basics of NL Holdem tournament games to enjoy it.
I can really recommend this book both for fun and knowledge.
Good knowledge June 14, 2010 K. Mendoza (CA) Great working knowlege with a vast array of hands to play from. What a time consuming effort on trying to make this book possible.
