Re: Available now at Amazon
Any Idea when it will be possible to get this book from PokerStars store?

Re: Available now at Amazon
Books have already been shipped to Poker Stars. They will be available for FPPs in the Poker Stars store. I estimate availability there in about 10 days to 2 weeks.

Re: Available now at Amazon
What's the ETA on an f'ing review in here? Really would like to see if it's worth a buy.

Re: Available now at Amazon
Hmm, wonder what's the deal with amazon. I ordered mine on the 20th and it says it still hasn't shipped. Why the hell can't they get their shipping information right?

I stopped ordering from there for good. Try ordering from Professional Poker next time. My KE book was shipped on time and it arrived in a couple of days and I live in Oz. If it was Amazon, god knows when it would be shipped. |
Re: Available now at Amazon
Thanks for the headsup JJay, will do!

[/ QUOTE ] I learned from the last two plus two book that amazon sends their preorders out very late. So this time I ordered my copy from a guy I saw posting here who said he had it right on his desk, ready to ship out, a guy named Mike. I got it within three days, tho the order form failed to let me have the option of getting it priority mail. I learned from the email confirmation from Mike that I had a choice of media mail or priority mail - too late. But I am so close to him that media mail was fast. So if you use him in the future - remember that you can email him to tell him to do it priority, I think. Or leave a note or something. Found him - Professional Poker.com. It's also nice to deal with a human, and one of our group, rather than a trillion dollar conglomerate. It is a really really good book, imo. |
Re: Available now at Amazon
Thanks for the kind words. Our checkout for domestic orders now defaults to Priority mail and also offers media and express mail options.

Re: Available now at Amazon
Tysen,
The charts on pages 72 and 73 titled "Unexploitable Re-Steals Far From The Money" are unclear. What are the 3 colums for on pg 72, and what are the 2 colums on pg 73? |

[/ QUOTE ] I finally got my hard copies, so I can see what the problem is. Yes, I know they are unclear. There is supposed to be a thick line between the second and third rows. If you look very closely you can see that the line is a bit thicker, but you essentially can’t see the difference. If that line were thicker, it would be more obvious how to read the chart. Anyway, look a dozen or so posts up from here for an explanation for how to read it. Tysen |
Re: Re-steal chart
just got mine from amazon....it's fantastic
the best thing I can say is that even if you disagree with some of the recommendations and strategy, the book forces you to think about and evaluate the entire theory and strategy underlying your game I'll have a more thorough review later, but I can say this is a great mental exercise all the way around the book is dense and will take alot of time to work through |

Mine will hopefully be here tomorrow. I saw that there is a HU strategy in it. Could you give me your review on that? Would it be applicable to HU SNG's? |
Re: Available now at Amazon
There's a nice 3-minute interview with Lee about Kill Everyone.

Re: Available now at Amazon
The book looks great - not sure about the guy interviewing Lee though.

Re: Available now at Amazon
its actually a pretty damn good book
|
Re: Available now at Amazon
This book is amazing. I was not expecting the amount of math and theory that this book puts in front of me. I thought it would be a basic layout of tournament strategy with tight hand reccomendations for early rounds, etc., but it is so rich with just advanced theory that I was not prepared for. The re-steal chart is awesome. I really enjoyed the Mark Vos chapter on 6-max strategy for cash games. It is pretty much a basic TAG strategy, but goes in depth more than I expected about post flop play. Really good stuff all around. Good job, guys!

Re: Available now at Amazon
Holy f’ing christ! How is this book not getting more love? Is it that no one’s reading it? I think this is by far the best poker book I’ve ever read and I immediately found things that help me with my game. It is so deep on so many levels and some of the things on bubble factors just blow my mind. This is the book I was hoping that the Math of Poker book was going to be. Kill everyone is actually USEFUL instead of just a bunch of toy games that you can’t do anything with.
The Good: So many juicy nuggets that I’m sure will become standard lingo like ‘M’ did after HOH. Fear equity, bubble factors and tournament odds just to name a few. I love that they show a ton of equilibrium plays as well as the best response against people who aren’t playing equilibrium. The endgame section is the best part, but the other stuff is good too like how the game has changed in recent years with more allin bets and cbets too. The walkthrough of the pro SNG is eye opening. The bad: I was hoping for a longer 6-max cash game section, but what’s there is decent. My only other complaint is that it’s NOT an easy read, though that may actually be a good thing. I had to read most of it very slowly and then reread it a second time before some of it sunk in. Heavy stuff. The ugly: That resteal chart is a nightmare to read like others have said. It’s got lots of georgeous charts and graphs, but that one is a dud. |

[/ QUOTE ] A lot of people like the book but as you said there is a lot of heavy info to digest and everyone is reading one chapter at a time once or twice then try it out instead of reading the whole book. In regards to the resteal chart, the author who specifically written the chart explains here in this thread. http://forums.lasvegasadvisor.com/me...hreadid=258338 |
Re: Available now at Amazon
Re-steal chart is far from a "dud" you just need to know how to read it. The top row is the opponent's initial raising range and there is a slightly thicker line beneath it to show it is seperate from the other ranges which are your re-steal ranges for your CSI (same as M) according to the opponent's stealing range.
Anyway, I got this book Friday and I'm still not half way through because it is so dense. I love the math behind everything and it doesn't leave much guesswork to what to do when at the end of a tournament. |
Re: Available now at Amazon
The book sounds great , but the title is really dreadful e.g. I did not even read this thread at first as I did not realize it was about a poker book.

Re: Available now at Amazon
As pointed out in article 9 subsection 12, Kill Everyone is a great name. It should be the name of everything.

when will the book be available from amazon.ca? i.e. canadian amazon......... and is it subject to delay at Amazon.com right now? thanks....

The only horrible thing I read was about open limping 66-22 in EP, but that might just be because it wants to be geared toward absolute 6-max beginners who don't know how to play post flop at all with a dry pair. |

It's listed for a Jan. 2008 release (no specific date), but I imagine you might have to wait till Feb., before they deliver it to you. Chapters.ca is usually faster shipping out rare American books like Farha on Omaha (chapters.ca had it in stock before Amazon.ca did-I don't think Amaz. has it in stock even now), but chapters doesn't have "Kill Everyone" listed yet. |

On the 3rd shipment we sent to Amazon, after they announced immediate availability it sold out in 12 hours. But it looks like they've restocked now and have it available immediately. Tysen |

Plus, it's not in stock just like in Canada. Our money may be worth more, but we still can't buy what we want from our own countries. God bless America! |
