Awsome Read
To me this is like a pokerized version of an analyzed chess game. That's what I really liked about it. There are 329 hands presented and commented on and what made the book special is the insight you can derive from the mind of a hyper-agressive player. To me that is extremely beneficial as I am more of a conservative player and frankly there really are no good books out there examining how such a "crazy" style of poker should be played. This book gives you that.
I commend Hansen on an extremely well written book with excellent hand analysis. A true classic if you ask me and I highly recommend it.

Excellent book
This is not a "How To" book but a comprehensive and complete version of "How Gus Hansen Did It" when he won the Aussie Millions in 2007. It is extremely insightful and well written and includes many nuggets for serious poker players.

Don't read this book too
Let me use gus's insights to his tournament progression to beat you. i don't want to give you the added insights as to how to adjust play as the tournament progresses. let me win my first tournament first and then read this book. You can buy it, but don't read it. wrap it and open it for Christmas of 2012...buy then I should be able to cash and win a WSOP bracelet...after winning the aussie millions and a couple of WPT tournaments...DON'T READ IT!

Who is he playing against?
This book is pretty useless. Goes through every hand of a tournament, in which 80% of the hands are, gus calling or raising with garbage floping nothing, betting out and having his opponent fold. Not sure who he is playing against but i find it hard to believe that people would keep giving him the pots without ever making a play against him.

It Works For Me
I have read quite a few poker books and for me, the sample (and real) hands are what I found most useful. So naturally, this book intrigued me. It reinforced some of the things I was doing, showed me some things NOT to do, and gave me some other good tips on how people think at different stages of the tournament. I am about 2/3's through the book and played in a 90 person tourney last night and won it. DISCLAIMER: Admittedly, it required some breaks and good luck (just like Gus mentions countless times in his book). However, by relating some of the situations I found myself in last night with the book, I think it definely helped. Much of what Gus shares I have read in other books as theory, but seeing it applied really solidified it for me. This book is so good that my recommendation is DO NOT BUY IT!!! I might find you at the same table someday. Enjoy.

What Everybody Ought to Know About Poker Games?! Gambling. First off, I should familiarize you with gambling in general. This term has much in common with such conceptions like money and excitement. Anyway, gambling means "wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods". Gambling is legal in the US, therefore everybody can try one's luck.
It goes without saying that folks spend huge money in their excitement, loose their heads being growing heated. There are a lot of spielings like gambling machines, houses, casinos, horse races, fisticuffs, cock-fightings, card games, etc. And of course it should be singled out the poker both online game and real one.
Poker History. The history of Poker is thought to have evolved over more than ten centuries from various games, all involving the basic principals of ranked card or domino combinations and the use of 'bluffing' to deceive opponents. One popular belief is that a game similar to poker was first invented by the Chinese sometime before 969 A.D, when The Emperor Mu-tsung is reported to have played "domino cards" with his wife on new years Eve.
Egyptians in the 12th & 13th centuries are known to have used a form of playing cards, and in 16th century Persia "Ganjifa" or "Treasure Cards" were used for a variety of betting games. A Ganjifa deck consisted of 96 elaborate cards, often made of paper thin slices of ivory or precious wood. The Persians played "As Nas" which utilized 25 cards, rounds of betting and hierarchical hand rankings.
A French game named "Poque" and a German game named "Pochen" became very popular in the 17 & 18th centuries, both developed from the 16th century Spanish game called “Primero” which involved three cards being dealt to each player. Bluffing, or betting high stakes whilst holding poor cards to deceive opponents, was an integral part of the game. Primero dates back to 1526 and is often referred to as "poker's mother" as it is the first confirmed version of a game directly related to modern day poker.
What is it? Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on the superior value of the card combination ("hand") in their possession, by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains "in the hand" after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.).
 By the way, poker as a card game has many available varieties as follows:
Video poker is a single-player computer game that operates like a slot machine. The concept of video poker is very simple. Players usually play one or more hands of 5 card draw poker on a machine and if you draw what is considered a winning hand - you win!
Online poker game is currently around on the web due to various online casinos and poker rooms which gather people from all over the world to play games like poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, etc. Talking about variants, hands may be formed using cards which are concealed from others, or from a combination of concealed cards and community cards. Just take a room and play a game.
