Re: Preliminary Kill Phil Comments
I used it to win a Party 10+1 earlier today after reading on their forum about the success that one guy was having using it.
And it is more about adding a "long ball" club to your bag. I used it to maintain pace with the blinds untill I got the chip lead and then started pushing players off their hands with my big stack. |

Re: Preliminary Kill Phil Comments
i've looked in 2 bookstores and have yet to find it.
i wanted this before based on binions review. Now that Mason has given it a 10 I think it's a must-have. The posts in this thread hinting at the various concepts in the book sound pretty interesting. as someone else pointed out...it seems to practically be a 'Party SNG' strategy guide (but I'm sure it applies to more tourney stuff than just that). Really looking forward to tracking down a copy. |

Re: Preliminary Kill Phil Comments
Just a quick note, Mason gave it a preliminary 10 and hasn't yet finished it.
It's beginning to sound like the next must read tournament poker book, isn't it? I read a few chapters, but haven't yet hit the meat. |

Re: Preliminary Kill Phil Comments
My Xmas amazon wishlist was so filled with poker stuff, my fiance got confused and ordered me this book....twice! So now I've got two copies sitting here - just started reading one. Heck, I might even read them both.

Takes till about chapter 6 (IIRC) to get to the "good" stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Preliminary Kill Phil Comments
I found it on eBay via these guys (http://www.pokergurus.com) also. Fast, friendly service so I'm happy to give them a recommendation.

It's a slow, fluffy start and most of us are past the beginner's section. But after about 75-80 pages it really starts getting instructional and I was pretty impressed with some of the tactics used by Lee and Blair. |

FWIW, I placed an order through these guys yesterday and the shipment is out via Priority mail today. So pretty fast response so far.
