 Excellent source of poker insight! August 31, 2010
D. Wu (Dallas, TX)
This book goes threw what every poker player wishes they knew, what the pros are thinking. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, a fun book that is not only educational but fun to read!
One of the best poker books I've read! August 24, 2010
Doug910
One of the best poker books I've read, and believe me, I've read a bunch! This book is a MUST READ if you are a MTT (multi-table tournament) player. If you are ring/cash game player, just move on and find another book as this is not for you.
As you read more and more of this book, you realize that Gus is really NOT a madman after all! He explains his reasoning for every move he makes. Though he takes you through the math he uses to make many of his decisions, you won't find any graphs or charts listed in this book. This book is simple to read, but definitely not for a beginner. You certainly need a basic understanding of MTT play. In his hand by hand descriptions, he explains how he feels about the situation, what he feels his opponent is holding and the reasons for his actions. This book is DEFINITELY worth reading!
Gus delivers 100% August 20, 2010
Steve Torok
Gus Hansen wanted to write a book about Poker that is different than all the books out there and he did it. He did it so well that I must admit the book worth every penny IF you were looking for this kind of material.
Do not buy this book if you want to learn how to play the game or strategies or tricks that you can use at the table. This book is about what was going through his mind before he raised a bet, checked or folded. You can get inside of a mind of a professional poker player, that what it promises and that is what it delivers.
This book is recommended from starter to advanced players since all of us could learn just by observing his game from behind his shoulders.
Help yourself, buy this book !!! July 14, 2010

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

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.
