Kill Phil and Power Holdem

So I've been reading both Kill Phil, and Power Holdem by Danial Negreanu.

Both books are diametric opposites of each other, and I've been trying to meld the strategies into a coherent approach.

Has anyone else done this?

They may both be effective strategies, but that doesn't mean they should be melded together. They are contradictory in a lot of elements.

I could see where melding the two could be successful, if done right. It would be akin to mixing up your play to confuse opponents.

I could see the benefit of melding them somewhat together but would not recommend it. On the other hand learning both techniques would not b a bad idea. You always hear how you should mix up your game at times and this would be a great way to do it. Say after a 1 1/2 at the table you deiced to switch it up, it would throw all the players at the table off and they would have no idea what was happening with you.
