| | 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. | |

 One of the best tournament books May 28, 2010
By Snowblind
I bought this book because I had trouble understanding how many people are playing in the big MTTs nowadays. I had read the first two Harrington books on tournament play, but I felt like the game had changed a lot since the days those books came out. I was puzzled about the way many players were winning lots of chips with mediocre holdigs. This book helped me to understand better what was going on in the tables. I can't say that I've become a better player, but I hope that when these concepts sink in I can start to gain some success in the tables.
The book has lots of interesting topics like stealing from UTG, calling early raises in position with suited connectors and pushing short stacked with seemingly bad cards. Theories are backed with mathematical equations. In the first reading these things were a little too hard to get a grip, but more studying is required and hopefully these things fall into place too. It's also good idea to read about the tournament play after several years of Harrington's books, because those techniques are so common and everyone knows them so they are losing their power. It doesn't mean they're obsolete but just a little too common and well known that something else might work better at the moment.
To me the last part of the book, which is about short handed cash games, is unnecessary. I don't understand why the authors have added that obviously too short section on complex matter which deserves its own book.
So if you're playing tournaments and want to develop your skills to more advanced levels you need to know these things. After reading the Harrington books this is a good supplement, because this is newer and goes beyound the basics. I recommed this to everyone playing NLHE tournaments. However, in order to better understand these ideas, it would be good to have some kind of basic understanding of tournament play. Maybe not the first book you should read about MTTs.

My NL bible Aug 19, 2010
By RazzSpew10
"Rev. Neo Gnostic"
I am a winning Razz player and play on Full Tilt(john21703). But this is my goto NL bible. It helped me win over $800 in cash and prizes in the local S-N-B poker league in the last two months alone (2 local wins, 2nd in regionals, 8th in nationals). I wish I understood every concept in the book, but this isn't a one read type of buy. So get your highlighter and be prepared to win some real money. If I could only recommend one book besides Ace on the River, it would be this one. I think about this book more at the tables than any other one. If you don't know the concepts in this book, be assured someone else at your table does.

Excellent Oct 22, 2010
By Kap 29
One of the best books about poker tournament I've ever read. Good mathematical analysis (the concept of equilibrium play is essential) and practical tips you can just apply without thinking too much.

A must-read for today's poker players Feb 08, 2012
By CigarDan
This book is a great insight into the modern poker game. The author (Lee Nelson) and his team have put together a truly remarkable work that even seasoned players can benefit from. The commentary from Betrand Grospellier isn't simply a bunch of "I agree" he actually does disagree with Nelson on some points and always provides details on why he either agrees or disagrees.
This book will show you how and more importantly WHEN to up your aggression, widen your hand range, or even lighten up. More geared towards tournament players, even cash gamers can benefit from the knowledge.
While the book shows you loose-aggressive play, even players uncomfortable with this style should still read this book to gain insight into how OTHERS are playing.
There is also a section towards the end on conditioning and fitness (who woulda thought you needed to be fit to sit on your butt all day) for long tourneys (some events last for 4-5 days playing 8-10 hours a day). Diet and exercise are important for long term mental function and the author lays out a basic guideline to get you started.
All in all, definitely worth it to read, you'll make your money back on it.

Terrific book on tournament poker! Nov 17, 2010
By Brian
I have "Kill Phil" the other book written by one of the authors of this book. Even though I enjoyed that book I did not have great expectations for this book. The first book was designed for a beginner playing very early in their poker career.
I read several very positive reviews so I decided to take a flyer and purchase this book. I was not disappointed. This is an excellent book on no limit poker tournaments. If someone were looking for a quality book for getting a solid foundation in tournament poker I would still strongly recommend the first two volumes of Dan Harrington series. But if you've already mastered the concepts in the Harrington series and looking for a book to advance your play this would be an excellent choice.
My compliments to the author and publisher for having text-to-speech enabled on the Kindle. This made my experience enhanced with the Kindle version of the book. I enjoyed the soft cover of this book so much I invested in both versions- the Kindle and the paperback version.
