Killer Poker by The Numbers vs Killing Everyone?
I want the book with deep math analyse, but it's not really important. I have already read Winning Poker Tournaments 1 hand at a time ( the best I think ) , Harrington on Holdem 3 volumes and Tournament poker by Sklansky.
Maybe can you tell me how both this books could help me? P.S. sorry my bad english, hope you understood me. |

Kill Everyone! Killer poker by number migth be ok content wise, but it is practically unreadable.

Re: Killer Poker by The Numbers vs Killing Everyone?
Could you illustrate what do you mean by the words "practically unreadable" for the Killer Poker book?

Re: Killer Poker by The Numbers vs Killing Everyone?
Notation is non-standard, but that can be overlooked, the thing is, that he spends a lot of time on fluff like stating that this is very difficult material, but don't worry, if you put in the effort then you'll master it .. etc etc .. and in the end you end up with 20-30 page chapters that could have been 2-3 pages long.
But then again I'm perhaps not in his target audience. Dunno .. but Kill Everyone is a good book no matter what, so if you have to make a choice, imo it is easy. |

Kill Everyone = one of the best poker books period.
Killer Poker By The Numbers = marginal at best. You decide. BTW, the ONLY poker book with significant deep math in it is The Mathematics Of Poker. However, I firmly believe that if you don't have a college math degree (or in some relatied field like physics) you simply will not be able to understand the book. If you are looking for a book with a reasonable about of math stuff in it that a normal smart person can follow I suggest No Limit Hold'em Theory & Practice. |

Killer Poker By The Numbers made me want to kill myself. Bill Chens book is supposed to be much better.
Personally, a Card Runners video series called 'Back To Math Class' done a great job for me. |

Re: Killer Poker by The Numbers vs Killing Everyone?
these books are very different kill everyone is more of a approach to tournament poker. Killer poker looks at poker from a mathematical perspective. I wouldn't say killer poker is one of the easier books to read but it does have some valuable insight.

Re: Killer Poker by The Numbers vs Killing Everyone?
Also there's a difference between 'Tournament Killer Poker By The Numbers' and 'Killer Poker By The Numbers.' The titles are self-explanatory. I'm surprised nobody brought that up since it looks as though OP is interested in tournament poker.
From what I remember about Killer Poker, it covered mainly NL Cash situations with a relatively small section on tournaments. Sure, the layout could take some time to get used to, but it's not that bad really and gets the job done. I actually liked the book overall. |

plus there's not really any threads on the forums that take the time to explain how to do combinatorics math/equity calculations/etc and provide tons of examples, which KPBTN does. neither of those topics are elementary and i've seen posts on these forums where high stakes, respected players screw up on both of those topics. that said i haven't read Kill Everyone so I can't say how the two stack up. |

Well FWIW the author is Tony Guerrera, and he actually knows what he's talking about. |

I was just reading Killer Poker By The Numbers at barnes and noble this afternoon after previewing some various videos on sites as far as combos go this morning. I love Kill Everyone but don't really see how you can compare the two. After reading it for a half hour I decided instead of 15 bucks on Killer Poker By The Numbers to just join one of these video sites for a month and see how that goes. stoxpoker has some combo videos that you can preview on their site. The value of By the Numbers is like what ecstzatic said from what i noticed, some unique stuff in there. Not to mention the subject title doesn't have to be a mutually exclusive decision. |
