Product Description
Product Description
"Kill Everyone" took the poker world by storm when it was first released in 2007. Its perfect blend of real-time experience, poker math, and computational horsepower created new concepts and advanced strategies never before seen in print for multi-table tournaments, Sit-n-Gos, and satellites. In this revised and expanded second edition, "Kill Everyone" adds even more ammunition to a tournament-poker-player's arsenal. In addition to groundbreaking analysis of fear-and-fold equity and equilibrium, plus the presentation of optimal strategies for the bubble, the end-game, and heads-up play, this second edition adds 50 pages of incisive commentary from the hottest tournament-poker-player in the world, Bertrand 'Elky' Grospellier, and a new chapter on short-stack cash games to go with the original discussion of playing in short-handed cash games. With a Foreword by 2006 World Series of Poker champion Joe Hachem, annotations by Elky, and solid math-based strategies from Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, Steven Heston, and Mark Vos, "Kill Everyone" packs more poker brainpower between two covers than any book to come before it.

So I started playing poker around 1 year ago, I have read many books and lost a lot of money on-line.
After reading the first few chapters I couldn't believe some of the comments and theories as they were completely opposite to the play tight and use this hand chart for position x at the table.
I decided to invest some more money into my account and test the strategies, mainly playing 360 players SitnGo tournaments.
I came first after just the 4th try and now regularly make cashes in the first few slots.
My advice is to buy this book, read it once, then read it again and test some of the strategies and insight from Poker pro "Elky". This book has really changed my perspective on the game and has helped me cash on various tournaments.
I am now testing the strategies on the 10 player SitnGo at micro stakes and ham doing well, my bank role is steadily increasing.

Format:Paperback
The 1st edition of this book was fundamental in helping me to develop a relatively unexploitable style of play, the kind of play that infuriates opponents and makes them swear at you in the chat box. As a schoolteacher, I prefer to play a small amount of smart poker (not more than 20 hours a week) rather than play lots of poker. The last thing I need is to tire myself out mass multitabling and straining my brain cells due to a bunch of difficult decisions. I much prefer the route of unexploitability, where I am the long-run statistical winner even if I lose a hand.
I got the 2nd edition because Elky is someone whom I hold a great deal of respect for. When I heard that the 2nd edition would include commentary from Elky, I just had to buy it.
A very interesting addition to the book was on shorthanded, shortstack cash play. Although, the authors have held back with some of the maths, a mathematician with half a brain will be able to use that chapter as a foundation to develop, over the course of a week or so, a reasonably unexploitable and solid shortstack game in a shorthanded context. Before others come here and start berating me for being a proponent of the shortstack philosophy, I think such people need to ask themselves WHY they play poker ? Do they play for fun or do they play for profits? If the latter, they should remain silent. Shortstacking is most certainly within the rules of play, and the chapter in this book is a useful addition to the very scarce literature available on this niche form of poker.
This book is a BUY !!

A great poker book. There was a couple of new strategies and processes I had not heard about before. It give good breakdown of the maths behind them with examples. It is also good to have the comments from Elky. I would recommend this book.

Kill Everyone Review
This is a great modern poker book for more advanced players. It introduces tournament theory which dictates actions based on equity rather than chip EV. Read more

Really Usefull
I wanted a maths type of perspective for poker tournaments and this book is exactly what I wanted. The second chapter about equilibrium points is excellent.
