“Kill Phil” Explores Poker Strategy

How many Phil’s are there in the pro poker world, anyway? With Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Gordon, that is already three too many if they happen to be sitting at your table. The authors of a new book, however, believe they can teach you how to beat the pros by taking advantage of the very skills that make them so good in the first place.


Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson have examined the very expert, tight and aggressive style of play used by many, if not most, poker pros, and come up with an even more aggressive, if risky, style of play to beat it. Utilizing the ultimate weapon in Texas Hold'em, the All In move, the book seeks to train up those players who need some ammunition against the big guns.

The book runs around $25 at your local bookstore, or online at Amazon.com.
