Product Description
Kill Everyone took the poker world by storm when it was first released in 2007. Its perfect blend of real-time experience, poker math, and computational horsepower created new concepts and advanced strategies never before seen in print for multi-table tournament, sit-n-gos and satellites.
In this revised and expanded second edition, Kill Everyone adds even more ammunition to a tournament-poker-player's arsenal.
In addition to groundbreaking analysis of fear-and-fold equity and equilibrium, plus the presentation of optimal strategies for the bubble, the end-game, and heads-up play, this second edition adds 50 pages of incisive commentary from the hottest tournament-poker player in the world, Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier, and a new chapter on short-stack cash games to go with the original discussion of playing in short-handed cash games.
With a foreword by 2006 World Series of Poker champion Joe Hachem, annotations by Elky, and solid math-based strategies from Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, Steven Heston and Mark Vos, Kill Everyone packs more poker brainpower between two covers than any book to come before it.

My kind of book: no waffle, just purely mathematical and logical rigour January 23, 2010
rm04 (London, UK)
The 1st edition of this book was fundamental in helping me to develop a relatively unexploitable style of play, the kind of play that infuriates opponents and makes them swear at you in the chat box. As a schoolteacher, I prefer to play a small amount of smart poker (not more than 20 hours a week) rather than play lots of poker. The last thing I need is to tire myself out mass multitabling and straining my brain cells due to a bunch of difficult decisions. I much prefer the route of unexploitability, where I am the long-run statistical winner even if I lose a hand.
I got the 2nd edition because Elky is someone whom I hold a great deal of respect for. When I heard that the 2nd edition would include commentary from Elky, I just had to buy it.
A very interesting addition to the book was on shorthanded, shortstack cash play. Although, the authors have held back with some of the maths, a mathematician with half a brain will be able to use that chapter as a foundation to develop, over the course of a week or so, a reasonably unexploitable and solid shortstack game in a shorthanded context. Before others come here and start berating me for being a proponent of the shortstack philosophy, I think such people need to ask themselves WHY they play poker ? Do they play for fun or do they play for profits? If the latter, they should remain silent. Shortstacking is most certainly within the rules of play, and the chapter in this book is a useful addition to the very scarce literature available on this niche form of poker.
This book is a BUY !!
