Kill Phil: The Fast Track to Success in No-Limit Hold 'em Poker Tournaments 
asked by motivations on November 10, 2006 2:36 AM
Divulges the real strategies used by professional poker players to consistently win major (and minor) no-limit hold 'em tournaments. With poker tournaments televised on more than a dozen television networks and internet poker sweeping the nation, the popularity of the game is at an all-time high. Everyone thinks they have a shot, as evidenced by the 5,600+ player field in the $10,000 main event at the 2005 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. If these weekend warriors hope to win, they'd better know the same strategies that the pros use. Authors Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson, both poker professionals, spill the beans about the strategies they (and most of the big-name poker players) use to keep scooping the pots.

This book has only one message: "MOVE ALL-IN". Because there is a statistical advantage to moving all-in pre flop with live cards against players that are very solid (they won't call without a very strong hand) this strategy will be the best strategy a player with very minimal poker knowledge can use against poker pros. I can't necessarily recommend using this strategy as often as they say you should but it's definitely an effective strategy when used at the right time. Get this book if you don't want to learn the science of poker and you're not afraid to gamble.

Used to play a lot of cash games, but took a look over at tournaments due to the high Expected Value. I tried my cash game strategy out on a few Sit 'n Go's and a couple Multi-Table Tournaments thinking that since I could rock any ring game I sat down at that it would transfer over to these tournaments just as well. After about 6 loses I started to get really frustrated. Even though the buy-in's were low, my cash game strategy just didn't hold up in tournaments.
Then I got Kill Phil. I read through the whole thing, typed up my own "Strategy Sheets" that Lee talks about in the book and that are also available from him, and set out again to try my luck.
I swear to God, this book should be made of GOLD !
Over a 10 day period I played 21 Sit 'n Go's at my favorite poker site, and out of all 21, I placed in 13. Not only that, I more than double my money! Here's my numbers;
1st Place - 8 Times (This was a first for me...Actually, 8 firsts :-D )
2nd Place - 2 Times
3rd Place - 3 Times
Overall Profit minus Buy-In's = $127!!!
I'm still amazed! Because all I have to do is sit down, play this extremely simple, yet complex strategy, and I rake in money everyday!
Some people may be reluctant to try this out, I know I was at first, but the results are simply stagerring!
Instead of sitting down at a ring game for 5 hours straight to "hopefully" double up, I can now sit down at any Sit 'N Go for less than 1 hour and simply DEMOLISH everyone there!
This is THE best tournament strategy book available. Harrington is no doubt good for those that really want to get into the mind of a poker champ, but when it comes down to it, my money is on Kill Phil!

This book was way too basic.
It mainly said play super tight and move all in against "Phils"
so they can't outplay you.
Tell me something I don't know
