KILL PHIL

i was reading of this strategy in an old issue of cardplayer. its about how to maximise your chances of winning, if you are a complete rookie and playing against the pros. its the worst strategy i have ever read of.

every time you get any semi decent cards, anything above K 9 o, just push all in. its really effective early in the tournament.

If it is effective, why limit it to playing against the pros?

Isn't that what a donk does anyway? A version of hit or miss poker within prescribed boundries.

you are really over simplifying it.

I will have to review it, but I don't think they have you pushing with K9 early in an tournamet.

This ^ is correct... you seem to be misinterpreting the KP strategy.

In the early tournament stages you are playing very very tight.

This concept was first introduced by Skanksy in Tournament Poker for Advanced Players.

Kill Phil just expounded on and polished/refined Sklansky's original idea in more detail/depth.

The basic idea is limited to pairs and AK I think. Not K9 as mentioned above.

re: KILL PHIL

You wait one or two blind levels so there is at least a decent amount in the blinds before you start playing this way.

The theory is that if you are playing against a pro you will be outmatched in post flop play. Going all-in allows you to see all 5 cards every time so you can't get bluffed out of a winning hand. This does not work against a table of complete average players because you will get called too many times and eventually get run over. A pro will try to use his skill and abilities to milk you slowly.

Most pro players will play very tight early and will not call any all-in except with AA or KK so you can push them off pots to help build up a chip stack. They will want to play a hand out and let the skill play out and not just who gets lucky on a coin flip.
