Re: Phil Gordon on Malmuth and Sklansky
[ QUOTE ]
Players with a beginner/intermediate understanding of poker like Gordon often don't understand or misapply the concepts suggested in the book.

His LGB really wasn't all that bad for a starter book, but I suspect he'd just drown trying anything advanced. Sklansky's stuff might not be perfect but it was certainly groundbreaking on arrival.
Frankly, with Gordon's vast bankroll, I wonder how well he really does overall. What little of his playing I've seen hasn't been that impressive - and his hands shake like crazy when he's playing. Who knows.
