The title for Kill Everyone: Advanced Strategies for No-limit Hold 'em Poker Tournaments and Sit-n-go's by Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib & Kim Lee, could just as easily have been, Today's Most Advanced Moves and Strategic Thinking for the Online Sit n Go Player. We players are fortunate to have several excellent new Sit n Go books available, and Kill Everyone is the icing on our cake.
Every page is crammed with top thinking and tips, here are but a few:
1) "In my view, the best players in the game today play some variant of this loose aggressive (LAG) strategy." Page 11.
2) "If a player in the big blind has just won a nice pot, he's a good candidate for a steal attempt." Page 17.
3) "Bluffing a player who can't be significantly wounded if he loses is a recipe for disaster." Page 30.
4) "In deciding whether or not to call a raise when we have a speculative hand, we use the Rule of 5 and 10. If it costs us 5% of our stack or less, we call; if it costs 10% of our stack or more, we fold." Page 49.
5) "If you can make your standard-size raise for less than a third of your chips, do it. Otherwise, you should be going all-in." Page 70.
6) "If you want to maximize your profits against sub-optimal opponents, you should push more often against tighter opponents and push less often against loose ones." Page 95.
7) "The long-ball approach is particularly good if your opponents are fearful (as in a tournament)." Page 98.
8) "There's a non-linearity in chip value in tournaments and each chip you gain is worth less than the chip before it." Page 108.
9) "When you keep the small stack alive, you can continue to dominate the other two players." Page 159.
10) "You should have the cardinal rule of short-stacked heads-up play etched onto your brain: Pushing too often is always better than not pushing enough." Page 181.
I highly recommend this book. At least for me, it was just what I was needing. The new moves alone will cover the cost of the book many times.
And, before you place a book order, look at the Free Offers page.
