Dumb Question....

[xducracer]

What is the "kill phil" strategy? I have heard this bandied about, but dont have a clue?

[AKQJ10]

Trivially short answer: The strategy suggested in the book Kill Phil: The Fast Track to Success in No-Limit Hold 'em Poker Tournaments

Slightly more helpful answer: A very simplistic strategy for NLHE that builds on the even more simplistic "push or fold" strategy that Sklansky suggested in his tournament book. It was intended by Sklansky as a way for an absolute beginner to hold her own in the WSOP after only a couple of hours of preparation. AFAICT Kill Phil gradually builds out this strategy from the very basic one to several more complex ones.

Suggestion: In future, you may get better responses with more effective subject lines. Someone might see a subject line like "Kill Phil Strategy: What is it?" and feel inclined to answer. Relatively fewer people are going to think, 'Oooh, that says "Dumb Question", I can probably help.' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
