In answer to yesterday’s conundrum, I would say that c, $7,000 is a good amount. It’s 35 buy-ins for NL200 but that amount allows Bob to be aggressive and take shots at NL400 and play some high-variance MTTs.
Phil Gordon’s Little Green Book is aimed for beginning-to-intermediate players and is a very good read for a player of that level. It introduces slightly more advanced concepts than your archetypical low-level book such as pot odds, blind stealing and semi-bluffing.
These concepts are written well, and Phil explains them in a simplified manner without being condescending. I first read this book when I was aware of most of the strategies he explained; I still, however, found it to be worth reading - it’s always good to get a fresh insight on things.
If you know the basics of Texas Hold ‘em and you’d like to advance your game I would reccomend this as the ideal purchase. Phil also has a DVD called Final Table Poker that illustrates some of the same things in this book in a visual format. I’ll review that at some other point.
