Have you read Kill Phil? Even if it isn't your cup of tea to play move-in poker, understanding it and applying it situationally may help your middle game strategy so when you do make it to a final table you've got some chips to work with.

ratfink, thanks... i love harrington early strategy, but i've come to realize i probably won't be in a 15 hour tournament anytime soon, let alone a 7 day tournament.

so i think kill phil will be a good idea. and i have no problem with all-in play once the blinds pressure you a bit (the opposite is a horrible feeling, you put 40% of your scarce chips in on AK in poor position, it doesn't hit, and you're like "now what", your opponent bets out and you're basically toast. i should have just moved in pre-flop (even given that the flop missed) ...

i find the few large B&M (or home) no-limit tournaments i've been in, the blinds get on you pretty fast unless you get some hot cards early.

trying to cut down on my expenditures (even though i started this thread soliciting ideas).... can i figure out most of kill phil on my own? or is it really worthwhile to buy??

sorry, this was a bit disjointed as i added stuff later but didn't look at the order.

thanks in advance!!
