Phil Gordon’s Little Green Book: Lessons and Teachings in No Limit Texas Hold’em

Product Description
Phil Gordon plays poker with the best players in the world. He has won — and lost — in tournaments and cash games around the globe, all the while studying the game and learning from every hand dealt. As the resident expert and cohost of Celebrity Poker Showdown, Phil has quickly become one of the most sought-after teachers of No Limit Texas Hold’em. It’s a tough game. But anyone can become a winning player with the right amount of courage, patience, aggression, observation, and, perhaps most important, dedication to becoming a better player.

After fifteen years of keeping notes on the things he’s learned, the greats he’s played with, and the celebrities he’s taught, Phil Gordon has poured every single thing he knows about No Limit Texas Hold’em into this little green book. Taking a page from Harvey Penick’s bestselling book of golf wisdom, Phil plays the role of both teacher and student, offering up insightful tips on how to think about poker and how to develop a singular style of play. Through philosophy, psychology, strategy, math, and the knowledge gleaned from playing poker with everyone from T. J. Cloutier and Phil Ivey to Hank Azaria and Ben Affleck, Phil breaks down the game into enlightening instructional tidbits and illustrative anecdotes that inspire the kind of persistence and motivation necessary to improve your game.

A book to rank with Doyle Brunson’s Super System and David Sklansky’s The Theory of Poker, Phil Gordon’s Little Green Book deserves a spot on the shelf of every serious student of the game.

  2. This is just a BEginner/baby poker book

    i was expecting a more detailed book.

    ** Only buy this if you are a complete Newbie !

    This book does the same as any other Beginning poker book.

    Buy Harrington on Holdem instead

  3. This book, has some good ideas and toughts, but it’s nothing advanced, I was disapointed, I had expected more from this guy, but if you plan to play against the man then this is a must have, he tells exactly how he plays, wich in my opinion is way to loose, he’s chart in the book advises to play Ax hands down to A5 offsuit no matter what position, also K9 and pairs down to 22, this made me loose all hope for the guy, he simply can’t play, by selling this book he is hoping to make a buck, Im sure he cant win them playing hands like that, there are alot better books out there, skip this one, it won’t help you to become a better player, in fact if you follow he’s recomendations you will get worse at it,
