Hansen Takes the Bridge at the Edge
We saw Gus Hansen intently focused on a book instead of the poker action, and we couldn't help but wonder what he's reading. A quick over-the-shoulder look revealed that he's reading Bridge at the Edge by Boye Brogeland and David Bird.
Here's how Amazon describes the said book: "A fascinating 'over-the-shoulder' look at top-level bridge. While describing almost 200 deals that he played in World and European Championships, one of the world's best players discusses bidding and card play, as well as his approach to the mental side of the game. A fascinating glimpse into the thought processes of a champion bridge player, as well as a look at state-of-the-art bidding methods, some of which are described here for the first time."
It seems Mr. Hansen is more focused on improving his bridge game at the moment than keeping up with what's happening at his table.
