Excerpt: "I was up against 746 competitors. I lasted five days. It took me 329 hands. But it was all worth it, because I won. Do you wanna know how? I will show you. Since the beginning of my professional career, i have often been called "the madman" by people believing I am insane, making loose plays with any hand, calling large bets with seemingly unplayable hands, and raising out of position with garbage holdings. There is, however, logic behind the madness. My approach to poker is mathematical and analytical and in my mind this is the only way to win poker." "Gus Hansen, 2009: 11"

This book does not contain charts on starting hand requirements, since my basic strategy is not significantly differen from that wich you would find in other books." "Barry Greenstein, 2005: 3"
