Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book
by Phil Gordon
Valuable sections include Cash Games AND Tournament Play; Sit and Gos; Satellites and Supersatellites. Nicely illustrated with many lessons, examples and analysis, it’s a balanced, smooth-reading textbook, some of which is based on the author's experience. This balance of common sense, strategies, ploys and an honest appraisal of what was going through his mind when he made his moves adds strength to this powerful, positive pack of lessons. One unique approach is to 'improve at poker is not by finding answers. It is by finding questions,' says champion Chris Ferguson in the foreward. This companion book to Gordon's Little Green Book does just that.

LONDON -- Bookmaker Paddy Power has pledged to double the GBP10,000 first prize in its forthcoming World Strip Poker Championship if the event is won by someone donating their winnings to charity.
Paddy Power is hosting the world's largest strip poker tournament in London. This would mean a whopping GBP20,000 payday for the winning charitable organisation.
Paddy Power is hosting the world's largest strip poker tournament in London. This would mean a whopping GBP20,000 payday for the winning charitable organisation.
The event, being held at the Cafe Royal, Regent Street, London on Saturday 19 August, is an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the largest ever strip poker tournament.
Interest in taking part in the event has been so strong, with applicants across 15 countries, that the organiser is now looking to expand the event. A large percentage of those playing are doing so to raise funds for their favourite charities.
Spokesman Paddy Power said, "We don't want to disappoint anyone who wants to play and we've had a lot of interest from people willing to donate their winnings to charity so we thought we'd super-size the event and encourage people to cast off their clothes for charity."
Charities or their patrons interested in participating can register at www.paddypower.com/strippoker or contact pressoffice@paddypower.com
The winner of the event will also win a package worth approximately GBP3,000 to play in the Paddy Power Irish Poker Open, Dublin over Easter weekend 2007 where they will get a shot at the GBP1 million plus prize pool.
