Every Hand Revealed

hansen-Every-Hand-RevealedThis is definitely one of the most important poker books.

As the pros making videos of the poker tournament victories, the way to learn poker has become easier. This is perhaps the first time that a serious player has put forward an entire tournament published, i.e. live brick-and-mortar tournament!
