Learn How To Profit In Multi Table Tournaments February 23, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you have some experience in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) and are serious about improving your game then you can't afford to miss Kill Everyone. IMO there are 2 big reasons to read this book: Eqilibrium Strategies and The Bubble Factor.
An Equilibrium Strategy, as the book explains, is one which is unexploitable by your opponent no matter how well he plays. In the later stages of a tournament it is common to find yourself in situations where you need to either move All In, Fold or decide whether to call an All In bet by your opponent preflop. It requires some study but if you are motivated then Kill Everyone has the charts you need to be able to master this strategy. You can easily save yourself the cost of the book by correcting just one single mistake you would have made had you not learned it.
Even more important is a concept that is very difficult for a cash game player to understand when he plays tournaments, and that is what the authors call the Bubble Factor. Cash players are used to calculating odds based on money where all dollars are the same. Kill Everyone explains why you can't do that in MTTs. In a cash game it would always be correct to call a JT All In bet holding AK because you would be a 62% favourite to win the pot. It is not uncommon to find yourself in the later stages of an MTT where such a call would be INCORRECT (even if the cards were exposed). Kill Everyone explains how to recognize these situations and take advantage of them. Again, correcting just one single mistake you would have made without understanding this idea can pay for the cost of the book many times over.
With the flood of other books out on the market I'm amazed none of them have dealt with these 2 critical concepts to the extent Kill Everyone has up until now. With so many good players emerging on to the tournament scene these days IMO it's impossible to be a long term winner without grasping them fully. A must read for anyone who is serious about MTTs.
Timely and Relevant to Today's Poker Games December 30, 2007

Kill Everyone is an ambitious undertaking by veteran poker player's Lee Nelson and Tysen Streib, with the assistant of master odds-calculator Kim Lee. The combination of the "feel" of successful experienced players set on top of a solid mathematical foundation make this book a very credible collection of strategies that can be applied to help any poker player find immediate and long-term success playing Texas Hold'em. No one book can make anyone a great poker player, but Kill Everyone will clue newer players into what some of the strong players are doing to earn consistent profits playing poker tournaments. Having said that, this is not a book for complete novices, as much of the analysis will be lost of inexperienced individuals. For those folks, I recommend Lee Nelson, Blair Rodman, and Kim Lee's Kill Phil, as that book outlines a simple strategy to keep you competitive against stronger players while you are learning the intricacies of poker.
Kill Everyone is full of meaningful insights that are relevant to today's poker games. Many of the well regarded poker books lose their value as their ideas become mainstream. The continuation bet that the masses learned to use to their advantage after reading Harrington on Hold'em means something very different than it did just a few years ago. Kill Everyone explains how the all-in bet is viewed differently than it once was, while also addressing specific scenarios that you will encounter in tournaments. Page through the table of contents and you are sure to see several topics that address parts of your game where you could improve.
I rated this book highly for it's relevancy to today's poker scene and for presenting some ideas that I had not previously seen in print. My biggest criticism would be that the author's tackled too many topics, and did so with varying levels of success. The chapter on "tells", for example, has been covered in such greater detail in other books that I found little value in what was written here. I also cannot speak to the short-handed cash-game chapter, as I play primarily in poker tournaments. Still, this book belongs in any poker player's library, so I recommend it to anyone who seeks to become the best poker player they can be.
It makes a difference December 27, 2007

The long-awaited sequel to "Kill Phil" (the book that got me into Poker) opens the door to another poker-dimension. The discussed concepts are sometimes difficult to read and understand, but appropriately described regarding to the many facettes No-Limit Texas Holdem has.
Compared to "Kill Phil", it handles post-flop play and adapts very well to the change in the overall game since "Kill Phil" was released.
For all the beginners, I would suggest to read "Kill Phil" first and then switch over to "Kill Everyone". This book really makes a difference.
A must for the serious player November 5, 2007

I really started coming of age as a poker player when I read Kill Phil... Kill Everyone is a must read for any poker player who wants to take their game to the next level. The math is a bit daunting but the concepts are straight on and are easily applied once internalized. I have already done so successfully in just a few weeks.
Congrats to Lee on leading the charge again!
