Phil Gordon is a very familiar face at World Poker Tour final tables. Gordon's "Little Blue Book" is a follow-up to his "Little Green Book", which is a recommended read before jumping into the Blue Book (unless you are a more advanced poker player). The Green Book is a culmination of over fifteen years of notes Gordon has kept on his playing experiences at the No-Limit Texas Hold'em table.

In the Blue Book, Gordon teaches you how to apply his theories and poker strategies to actual hands. Recounting actual hand's he has played himself, this is a valuable learning tool for players who already have a solid grasp on poker. In other words, this book could really help you to take your poker game to the next level in No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournament action.

Phil covers cash games, early tournament play, middle and late tournament play, and the final table in succinct detail with spot-on scenarios. At the end of each section, Phil gives a "Key Analysis", which is essentially his unique insight relating to poker hands that can only come from experience.

The other great thing about this book is that it comes in hardback and is small enough to carry around in a briefcase. A true gem and collector's piece for the bookshelf and gambling library, it's actually a good thing Phil Gordon's "Little Blue Book" is bound, because you will definitely be putting some wear and tear on it.
