Has anyone tried Kill Phil in online tournaments?

Got action from hands I dominated. What else can you ask for? Note that if I win either of the two all-ins, my stack will be large enough so that the next time I get it all-in, I'll probably have my opponent significantly outchipped.

I LOVE kill phil strategy or as I like to put it the "I hate to put time and effort in being a good poker player so I will be a push monkey" strategy.

Fixing post for me.

[wmspringer]

Yup...I haven't read Kill Phil yet, but I've been pushing AK,AQ in low-buyin MTTs and have been consistantly getting called by weak aces.

Granted, they suck out a great deal of the time, but that's poker.

[BigPoppa]

Kill Phil doesn't tell you to push AK preflop until the blinds get high. It tells you to fold.

[HighStakesPro]

That's only for playing live tournaments. Online you push AK every time, although I guess if there are multiple raises in front of you, you can make a judgement call about whether or not you're beaten.

A bit off topic: was a funny scene at the WSOP when that guy, who was wearing a KILL PHIL hat picked up AA and raised t1000 into a pot of t50 or so. Farha had some small wired pair and with a smile made the call. Sammy spike trips and knocked the joker out.

[HighStakesPro]

haha, I remember that. The funny thing is, he didn't raise enough preflop, he's supposed to raise 1/6th of his stack, lmao.

Pretty sure he raised more than 1/6th: 1/2 - 1/3. Was near the beginning of the tourney and he was already hurting. Anyway, not terribly important.

[HighStakesPro]

I thought he had 10K, I know it was at the beginning of the tournament, and I remember he bet 6K on the flop, and farha raised him all in.
