Blair Rodman Libros

Thanks to television, the Internet, and the popularity of the World Series of Poker, tournament poker became the richest sport by 2006. However, no-limit hold 'em was largely dominated by a few skilled professionals. This book introduced a strategy that enabled novices to compete effectively against the best players. The Kill Phil strategy remains effective against top competitors, but tournament dynamics are evolving. This revised edition updates the approach to reflect new trends, refining the all-in move and adapting to the hyper-aggressive play style that has emerged. At its core, it continues to be the best method for entering the exciting and potentially lucrative world of poker tournaments. Readers will discover an abbreviated system—the "Kill Phil Rookie"—that can be mastered in under an hour, making it powerful enough for first-time tournament competitiveness. As you progress, you can climb the Kill Phil ladder, learning increasingly effective strategies through real-time experience. The book also provides guidance for success in online tournaments, Sit-n-Go's, and single-table satellites. Additionally, this edition includes a complete set of strategies formatted like the original Kill Phil strategy cards, adding significant value for readers.

Divulges the real strategies used by professional poker players to consistently win major (and minor) no-limit hold 'em tournaments. With poker tournaments televised on more than a dozen television networks and internet poker sweeping the nation, the popularity of the game is at an all-time high. Everyone thinks they have a shot, as evidenced by the 5,600+ player field in the $10,000 main event at the 2005 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. If these weekend warriors hope to win, they'd better know the same strategies that the pros use. Authors Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson, both poker professionals, spill the beans about the strategies they (and most of the big-name poker players) use to keep scooping the pots.
