Preliminary Kill Phil Comments

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Everyone:

I've read about 140 pages of Kill Phil and my initial impression is that this is a very good book. Assuming the rest of the text is at the same qulity level as what I've read so far, it will get a 10, the highest possible, on my review scale.

Best wishes,
Mason

Thanks for that. Tried to get it today from a gift card I got at work. This book is sold out in three Borders and Barnes and Nobles I've been to. That may not be saying much as they might have had a low first run printing, but still....

I don't believe that at this point, Borders and Barnes & Noble have ordered this book to carry in their store. They can order it for you and have it delivered in about 2-3 weeks.

I did pick mine up at a Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago, but was told that this was a copy that was special ordered but never picked up.

I think BArnes and Nobles around my area are carrying it. I was in Greenville, SC a couple of weeks ago and I called both stores in town, the first one said they had had some copies but were out and the one across town had 1 left. I wasn't able to get by to pick it up so when I got back to my hometown I called the local store said they had 1 left out of 5 ordered. What was funny was the lady talked to was a poker fan/player and loved the cover(She knew who Hellmuth was) and I had to talk her into letting me have that copy and ordering more for her and the store.

I must have missed the rush... I got mine Nov 21 from Amazon at a discount no less and it took only 5 days with free shipping. Now the site is asking full price and saying it will take 2-3 weeks. "Fortune favors the ...quick"

This site has it in stock and at a good price as well as several other poker books.

I just drove from MD to VA to purchase this book from Borders. They have it on order at all the Borders books in my area but none had it. I ordered it on amazon last night but it said that it wouldn't ship until feb so I searched a little harder. (Sorry guys in Vienna Va but I got there first). My initial impression after reading one page is that the type setting and fonts all seem to be copying 2+2 books.

I'll post again when I have read some of the book.

I've applied much of this book's advice into my $11 SNG strategy.
Before: 2k @ 11% ROI
Since: 250 @ 33% ROI

Clearly I am running hot, but if I don't drop by more than 15% in the next 700...I'm going to be very happy with my purchase [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I feel like this book was designed for online SNG's at Party...even if that wasn't their intention. In these low buyins, the all-in play is really the only move when 8-10 tabling, and this book provides some great opportunities that I was clearly missing.
I'll be trying it on Stars after the new year...hope it translates.

Looks like it's time to stop putting off buying this..

I thought you might dig it, Mason. If Sklansky had really thought about it, Kill Phil is what he would have come up with for the improved "System" in TPFAP.
