When a poker player as active and successful as Phil Gordon sits down to write a book about the game he loves others sit up and take notice.

A co-host on Bravo’s celebrity Poker showdown Gordon is accepted as one of the experts of No limit Texas Hold’em and his latest offering ‘ the Little green book’ is certainly a read most poker players should consider viewing.

The publishers sell the book by saying ‘  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.’

In a nutshell what they’re trying to say is that this book gives you those little tips that can transform your game.

Simple mathematical calculation techniques dealing with easy probability will make you play or fold and ultimately could help to turn you into a consistent winner.

Endorsed by some of the top players in the business the little green book is fast becoming something of required reading for the serious No limit Texas Hold ‘ Em players around the world.

The only criticism one could level at it however is that the author is the main selling point rather than the contents. Still its worth having a look at for those late poker night.
