POKER INFO - PROILE - Phil Gordon

I watch bravo poker every week.I would like to see just the nascar drivers play head to head think it would be great for charity and fun to watch.and I personally learn alot from Phil helps my game alot,what little game i have.lol

Historically the same guys have always made final tables for good reason: they are smart and consistant poker players. Recently the ammount of people entering tournaments have sky-rocketed which means that unknowns will sometimes beat pros and even win. HOLDEM INVOLVES VARIANCE. That is how "amatures" beat "pros." Also, we see a VERY small percentage of actual hands played on TV. It's near impossible to determine how good a player is by watching a few selected/edited hands. There are great players out there who get KO'd on the first day of a tourney all the time. I also doubt a guy who hosts a poker show, has a new book out, etc...has the time to be in every WPT event. And yes, the celebs suck at poker for the most part...they are celebs...not pros. Phil's analysis of their amature play is beneficial to any newbie who hears it. Phil is a good guy (I've met him) and a solid player.

Sat and played a few hands with Phil last night at the Knob Creek whiskey Poker event @ Jay Z's club 40/40. He's really bright & sharp, as well as an all around nice guy.

I just love poker and I love the way you explain everything on celeberty poker. I play with my co-wokers and I am really good at time, most of the time. It has been that on several occations I have one up to $110 a night, small money for a small town girl. But anyway I really enjoy your program. Hope to see more of you in the future.

Congrats, Normis, on winning $110! I'd love to be able to make that claim, too! Perhaps you'll meet Phil someday and get to play him heads up! hehe!

really huh last time i checked the amount of entries in the wpt events hasnt stopped gus hansen from making final tables so maybe phil knows alot about poker but that doesnt nessacerily mean hes a good player

I just adore Phil so mush. He seems very humble and down to earth.Celebrity Poker Showdown is great for the simple fact that he's on it.I wish him continued success in life!
