Resumen del Editor

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.

Phil Gordon's Little Green Book

I thought Phil Gordon's Little Green Book was very good. Altough it doesn't offer a lot of specific details on how to play your hand it does give a lot of practical information including: playing your hand preflop, postflop, on the tun and on the river, etc... Overall it was an interesting audio book. I would recommend it.

best audio poker book you'll find

If you could sum up Phil Gordon's Little Green Book in three words, what would they be?

This is the perfect book for the dead money player to improve to a winning player. Succinct, easy to listen to, and gives a great foundation for stratagy and disipline . Doesn't drone on like other books. Has turned me into a cash game winner. Phil Gordon is also a great narrator. Ya think it might be worth the price of an ante?

One of the best

What did you love best about Phil Gordon's Little Green Book?

Easy to comprehend and great lessons on the game. I had the book before purchasing the audio version to listen to on my commute. I will listen and re-listen to this book no doubt.

Any additional comments?

Outside of Doyle Brunson's "Super System", this is my favorite poker book. By far the best poker book on Audible as of 12/2013.

helped me alot simple straight forward

this was my first poker book and it was a great choice to help me out a lot and put me in the positive

Great book

I have a lot of respect for Phil Gordon because he's such a solid pro. Very respectful and knowledgeable on the game. I listened to this book for about 2 weeks straight because I knew I was going to miss things. You must listen to this multiple times to get the information properly. I listened in preparation for my trip to the poker tables 2 hours away from home and I had a winning session. I played $1-$2 no-limit holdem and came home with $500 profit. To those that say it's only for tournament play is mistaken. Most of his advice pertains to all games, be it live or tournament. Thanks Phil. I will continue to read this because every time I do, I get more information.

awesome

very helpful, lots of good concepts, great for a beginner or intermediate player, would suggest any serious player read

Great book, I have improved greatly my game!

Over all its a great book, I just wish he had spoken more on online poke. thanks for your teachings

Satisfied

Great imagery and content that is still applicable 11 years later. A solid buy for any poker book collection.

Entertaining without getting too technical.

I loved the book. I am going to replay it soon. I loved the instruction and strategic aspect, stories about experiences were very entertaining. My only real criticism is the book ended too soon. I would've liked to hear more real life story examples to go along with each strategy. I remember the strategies better when I can relate them to an entertaining story.

Great book!

I actually bought the book first and was completely impressed. Of course there is going to be too much stuff to remember (poker is a very complex game), so I decided to get the audio version so I could easily review the material whenever I get a chance. Every time I listen to this I manage to find some kind of hole in my game or a great nugget of information to exploit someone with. This is a truly great book that can be listened to over and over. I have read quite a few books on poker and in my opinion this is the next best thing to Harrington on Holdem (which would be impractical for audio).
