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.
