Steven L. Heston Books

One of the most highly regarded poker books to come out in the last decade is now even better than before. The expanded and revised second edition of Kill Everyone, by Aussie Millions champ Lee Nelson (with Steve Heston and Tyson Streib), now includes hand illustrations throughout the book—and even more enticing for poker players—commentary throughout the book by internet-poker and European playing sensation Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier, World Poker Tour’s 2009 Poker Player of the Year. Kill Everyone begins where Kill Phil left off. Its perfect blend of real-time experience, poker math, and computational horsepower combine to create new concepts and advanced strategies never before seen in print for multi-table tournaments, Sit-n-Gos, and satellites. It also explains how to choose the right strategy for the right game, provides the proper tactics, and introduces new weapons into a tournament-poker-player's arsenal. This book is for anyone serious about playing tournament poker, both live and online. And for cash-game players, a bonus chapter, penned by online cash-game ace and 2007 WSOP bracelet winner Mark Vos, helps you develop your short-handed no-limit hold ’em cash game.

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.
