What Customers Say About Phil Gordon's Little Green Book: Lessons and Teachings in No Limit Texas Hold'em:

This book is very informative. I can recommend this book 110%. Rookies to intermediates will enjoy reading this book on how to play NLH.

How does something like this happen.If somehow I have made a mistake (btw,I'm a mathematician), I'll gladly edit this review. Gordon has it at 36.4%.

270) is wrong. Here we have a poker book by a guy who likes his math, and yet the outs chart he has in the book (p.

The probability you make the flush by the river is 35.0%. For example, assume you have a flush draw after the flop.

I.e., you have 9 outs to make a flush. In fact all entries in his chart look wrong; they're all greater than the actual probabilities.

Until then, only 3 stars.

There's just too much information to try and absorb only once. I've listened to this CD several times. It takes several times, and things suddenly make more sense that before. Soon I will again listen to it again, either in my truck, or on the tredmill. Learning from Phil is learning the mental aspect of Hold Em. I highly recommend this CD and Phil's presentation, Will I ever be on the final table. Probably not, but I can now be able to play a "Cool Hand" in any game.

I am just a poker novice and found the information in here to be a good start but what I really like about the book is that Phil Gordon has a good sense of humor about himself and shares the mistakes that he has made as well. I found it was not too dry to just be a good read.

The book has the essentials, but the analysis is not the best. I like it that it had the chart about hands chances heads up.
