Gus Hansen, Every Hand Revealed.
The biggest thing I got from this book is to crank up the re-raise quotient.
What's his range for re-raise?
54o, 76o, QTo, K7o, A8o
I've changed my game a lot. I've been playing much more aggressive.
I've been crushing the games online lately. It may be just variance, but I think I make the price of the book back once an hour or so.

Good luck with that... I've been reraising with those hands for years and so far its been -ev
But your reads have to be spot on along with your player analysis....otherwise you just open up a whole can of worms....lol
Definitely a good read as I have always wondered how pros play from start to finish. They also do have 1 or 2 defining moments which shoot them up to the top of the leader board where it could have also ended their tournament very early.
I can see why so many pros bust out very early on.....I think for the most part Gus' manuvering in this book is pretty stable and it just so happens he makes 1 or 2 "oops" moves that work in his favour. Other than that, surprisingly he plays a solid game.
This book would be very bad for a beginner to read and try to implement.
There is a fine line between being an aggressive and a chip spewer.
if anybody has Kill Everyone, i'm looking for that one, too. amazon.ca doesn't seem to keep it in stock much
Any offers?
i'd trade any book by mcevoy and/or cloutier for it, though. interested?
I just hope pkrfce9 won't be blowing his load on my book while he's examining Negreanu's "Small Ball".
sounds good; got some titles?
I'm currently reading his "Crucial Hand 2" on pages 25-28, and since pkrfce9 didn't leave any cheat notes for me,
[/quote] True, Gus admits that pushing is a mistake and flat calling and folding if the board pairs is a slightly more EV play...
Looking over my stats since I finished reading the Gus book shows some interesting results.
1. My attempt to steal binds is super high 44%
2. I'm winning money in every position, even the SB and BB, except the Button (-6.3bb/100).
3. I'm 5.5BB/100 (tiny sample size of 15K hands) in spite of my awful button play.
4. Re-stealing is fun but expensive.
Conclusion,
Stop trying to steal everything from the button!
Stop 3 betting with junk on the button!
I must be playing pretty awful to be losing money on the button. But I guess it's part of the learning to re-steal process.
Blind defense in the sb and bb seems to be working well.
Suggestions?
You should read the Moshman's book after reading the Harrington on Holdem I-III, he assumes you've read them. I really like the Moshman book. Highly recommended.
