Hello!

What are the key differences between Kill Phil Vol1 and Vol2 (advanced) ? I have played for years and wanted to focus more on MTTs - should I start with the advanced version? Any other raccomandations for Online MTTs?

Thank you.

You might want to look at Harrington on Modern Tournament Poker. You can buy it directly from us for a pretty good price and shipping is free in the U.S.

Kill Phil Vol1 presented a simple system for tournament beginners to play and go deep in no limit holdem tournaments. It was limited and robotic.

Kill Everyone was the follow up and is of much greater value. Buy that as well as many other books as the need arises.

Thank you, Mason! I've enjoyed reading these reviews and found them helpful because a few of these books, like Tendler's, left me more confused and feeling like I'm spinning my wheels, and these reviews have been a good reminder that not all published content is good content.

I look forward to any future reviews you choose to share with us.

Hi metalme:

I think books, like the first book by Tendler (which is the only book by him I read), are at best confused works and often much much more bad than just confused. For example, when you see stuff like poker players need a warm-up, that should be enough to stop reading. It shows right there that the author doesn't understand that poker is much different from an athletic sport since the execution component, which includes things like speed, timing, and coordination, can at most play only a very small role in poker. So a warm-up, which is designed to loosen your muscles and peak our coordination, just can't have much value in a game like poker which is mainly based on knowledge and not execution.

No. The only changes were some minor editing.
