Kill Everyone was my first poker book and I can say that it really helped my tournament play. If you are new to the game, it's not the best option for you, learn the basics first before reading it.This book teaches intermediate-advanced techniques about how to win online and live tournaments, it has charts and graphs to explain his concepts in an easy way to learn.I recommend it to everyone.
This book is not for the light hearted poker player but for those who have mastered the basic and intermediate skills and are thirsty for more knowledge and want to take their game to the next level.This is not light reading. It makes one see things from a different perspective and base decisions from a higher level - the "big picture".This is not a book for beginners or even average "recreational" players as this book may not be understood and a waste of time. It takes some of the concepts already one may have learned and applied to their game such as CSI and Bubble Factor and how to use these mathematical methods to help make the best decision possible but not to exclude other skills that should also come into play. I like how the author teaches and demonstrates how to use these methods through various examples and various types of games (Cash, SNG, Tourneys).It's a great book. This is for the serious average and above players who are willing to take the time to understand the concepts and apply it to their game.Timing is crucial as to when to pick up this book and read it. If one is not ready, this will not be an easy read.
Very instructive book. When i play texas hold'hem now i like to use the method of this book and it works very well.
If you're a cash game player and you need help adjusting to tournament play, then this is the book for you. I don't usually review products on Amazon, but I'll make an exception in this case. In my opinion this is the best book ever written on poker tournament play (sorry Dan Harrington).The author's explanations of ICM and "bubble factors" are what makes this book so great. When you learn how to use ICM instead of just pot odds to make your decisions, you will see your tournament results rise to a whole new level. The concepts in this book will help equally, whether you play single-table sit and go's or large multi-table tourneys.Highly recommended for any poker tournament player.
There are additional chapters to tailor the game for Sit N Go tournaments and internet play that has become so popular these days. I hadn't read it when I decided to give this one a try but it didn't really matter. All I can say is that after only a month of having this book as my main reference, some real time experience in home games and my willingness to improve my game evolved (from old school to a more aggressive style) and I was able to win a small stakes Hold'em tournament.This is a sequel to a very popular book titled Kill Phil. You have to take your time to understand the situations presented in each chapter and how to deal with different tournament structures, table positions and situations (far from the money, the bubble, short handed, heads up). Although the ideas and mathematical explanations are geared towards intermediate and advanced players I was able to pick up on very useful basic concept and worked my way through more complex strategies. The chapters are well structured with tables, charts and graphs that explain the logic for every decision making aspect be it pre-flop or post-flop. But by the time you finish reading and understanding theses concepts you'll have a great set of tools to develop your game sit at a poker table and be very competitive.I am now reading the first book to get a better understanding of the foundation Kill Everyone is based on - Kill Phil. It seems the latter is focused on pre-flop strategy, All-In moves and calculating pot odds to make big decisions.
