Phil Gordon's Little Green Book

thechern · Jun 21, 2006

I just bought it from the store, have any of you read it what should I look forward to? Is it as good as people say it is?

I really liked it, and it's the favourite book of my weekly live poker game. It's a good great and has a great assortment of general tips and tricks and helped me think about how to approach hands early on, but not quite as rigorous a treatment of the mathematics or poker theory as say Harrington (not necessarily a bad thing).

Yes, I've had the book for awhile now and it is very interesting. Good read.

I really like the book as well. It is very easy to read and makes you think a little bit more. With out all the huge paragraphs with small writing it lets you digest the information a little easier at first. Very good read. I recommend to all. I also wanted to mention that he also has a "Little Blue Book" that I have yet to read. I am hoping to buy it soon so If someone gets it before please fill me in.

This is an old thread but I thought I'd give it a bump.

I've actually been reading this book and it's amazing the changes that I've made to my game and the overall improvements I've made as a player. I was stunned at how little I actually knew about position and proper raising while playing.

Look forward to reading his other books as well!

I have an audio version on my iphone, it one of the books or audio every poker player has to listen or read.

just purchased "Caro's most profitable hold 'em advice"

I have heard this is a good book. I might have to check it out after reading the positive reviews!

WOW really it's that worth reading? I have also heard of this book actually and it seems that I should buy one and read it too

Is this book targeted towards MTTs or cash games?

Jthefantastic · Feb 18, 2013

I loved this book. Very interesting read!

I really liked the book when I read it. My fear however with old poker books is if they've become outdated or not. I still think poker books are a great place to start, and then add to it one's observations about the style of play of the poker culture they're in.

The book is targeted for MTTs. It was the first poker book I read. I have re-read it half a dozen times. I consider it must reading for novice players looking to improve their game.

Phil Gordon also wrote The Little Black Book - which I have not read - that I believe focuses on cash games.

This is a great book and is full of great information on the game of poker. I hope you enjoy the book and I hope you learn loads from it which then makes you loads of money.

I bought this book last year, and have to admit I haven't finished it yet. i really need to take time off to read it.

I've read half the book so far, and although its a great read and well written I dont think its relevant to my cash play, but I'm sure some of the concepts spread over all game types.
