Default Re: The Best Hand I Ever Played: good book saw yesterday

I picked up this book today. It is awesome. I know some people may consider it light, but the insights in some of the hands are fantastic.

Some of the hands involve calls with bottom pair. There is Arieh's laydown of a flush. Gus Hanson's call of the push with T8s, where he found up a 52-48 dog getting 65-35 pot odds shows the strength of a great backgammon player.

I am mainly a NLHE tournament player and most of the hands are from that and some are from NLHE cash games, so I particularly appreciate this.

I think this is very underrated as a serious poker book.
