I read this book in preparation for possible World Tour of Poker participation this summer in Vegas! I liked Phil Gordon's first book (Little Green Book of Poker) so well that I followed up with this one. This book continued where that one left off and contains lessons about various situations and problems that come up regularly in the course of tournament poker. My poker style is pretty consistent with his, so reading all three of his books has helped my game a lot. Of course, there's no substitute for the real thing -- see you all at the tables soon. Fun fact: Phil Gordon donates a portion of all proceeds from his poker winnings and writing royalties to the charity, Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation (CRPF), and encourages poker players in the World Series to "Put a Bad Beat on Cancer" by donating 1% of their winnings to the CRPF. So far they've raised over one million dollars!
