New poker book, Gus Hansen's "Every Hand Revealed."
Here is an excellent book review of Gus Hansen's new book, "Every Hand Revealed."

I always liked watching Gus play, even if he has a reputation of being a cash game donkey in some circles. In this book, he chronicles over 300 hands he played on his way to winning the 2007 Aussie Millions Tournament.

The book sounds like a winner, I would pick it up if I were not so far behind in my poker reading already. I have a feeling I could get more out of this than Harrington on Holdem (blasphemy!), but I really play tournaments more like Gus than "Action Dan," so I would like to see how he handles seeing all those flops. I also like Gus' use of the term "air ball," I hear "air" a lot but not airball, I like it! You can read a nice excerpt from Gus' book at full tilt poker.com.

POKER AFTER DARK - Mini review.

I would like to do a full review of this show, but it's been on air so long that most people have probably seen it many times, and I have only seen a few episodes, so I can't say it would be fair on my part.

Six contestants (usually well known pros) play a no limit tournament over a four hour show, one hour for four nights. There is lots of table talk, and it's got the casual feel of another PROpoker productions show, "HIGH STAKES POKER."

Overall, it's dumb, b/c the prize is $120k, and these guys typically win that in one hand. Also, the format is extremely unoriginal, unlike HSP. I have ideas to totally revamp this show, but I don't have a relationship with Mori yet, so maybe some day we can talk.
