Book: Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book
Phil Gordon, poker pro, man about town, and friend to poker bloggers wrote a series of books. So far I have read two of them. This is what I had to say about the first one I read.
I liked Little Blue Book
because he went through hands and explained what he did and why. Although it is a bit much to read straight through. I know I will go back to this book and study up when I have questions. I don't know how this book will affect the way I play poker, but considering my level of play this book certainly can't hurt it.
Go here
to buy the book. But if you are a cash poor unemployed poker player like me, check your local library.Enjoy the Pokery Goodness!

I can't imagine Phil Gordon's advice being any good in 2010!
Well for someone who hasn't read too much on poker, it helps a bit. I am not wanting to model my game after his.
I found it a good exercise to try and think through the hands before reading his thoughts on the hand and compare. I disagreed with the way he played several hands. He admits that he did not play all these hands correctly. And encourages you to question.
I think what I got most out of the book is to constantly question how you play. Always look to see if there is a better way to play.
I haven't yet played live and so this was a way for me to think through how to play. I have a feeling that the locals will be knocking each other over to get at my chips when I do go play.
Thanks for the comment James!
