OK, please post your favourite Gus Hansen hand in a new thread. First I want to be like Gus Hansen, then I want to Kill Everyone! By the way, you can Kill Everyone for only $18.05 at Chapters.ca .

Amazon.ca doesn't have Kill Everyone or Elements of Poker last I checked. Anyone know of a good way to get them?

Thanks for the review.

You'll like the Gus Hansen book.
It lets you get into the mind his head and feed your inner Gus.

He makes a lot of plays getting 2 to 1, Something that I should start doing more often.


Want to know how to play lag pre and post flop? Gus shows you how.
It's a play by play of his thoughts hand by hand as he wins the Australian open.

There are some errors and it would be nice to have the hands the opponents didn't show (I guess it's released before the telecast) , but overall it's a good book.

If people want I'll post some hands from it.

Amazon.ca doesn't have Kill Everyone or Elements of Poker last I checked. Anyone know of a good way to get them? They are next on my reading list.
I've read that Gus have some details wrong in terms of bet-sizing and what not, but I guess it happens when you try to record down every detail about a hand. Probably an interesting book to read to see his thought process - maybe I'll give it a read or soemthing more as a casual read than an actual strategy book in the future.

Anybody sign up (or take a tour of) the pokervt thing? (vt = virtual trainer)

Seems to me like a monthly subscription to an audio book.

In the software industry we call it maintenance, charge you money every year and keep giving you little tidbits each month to make your life better.

Here it just sounds like a cash grab. It is easier to talk about stuff then write it down. So pay me money and each month I will talk about more stuff and you take your own notes. Just keep paying me money and I will throw you a bone every now and then.

In terms of overall value, there are other training sites with better bang for the buck, but pokervt is indeed a good product.

They seem to have gathered a few decent "pros" so far, but I'm not sure if its ready to overtake Cardrunners or PokerXFactor yet as one of the leading instructional sites. Time will tell I guess.
