9) Kill Everyone: Advanced Strategies for No-Limit Hold 'Em Poker, Tournaments, and Sit-n-Gos: Revised and Expanded Edition (Gambling Theories Methods) :

This book is co-written with Tysen Streib and Kim Lee and together they present an informative approach to winning No Limit Texas Holdem Tournaments. Streib has written many articles for 2+2 magazine and developed the graphs and charts used throughout the book. Lee is a math and finance expert who applies these skills to poker situations. The book is divided into four sections. The first three sections are devoted to winning No Limit Texas Holdem tournaments. The fourth section was written by Mark Vos (an online poker professional) who explains the strategies for winning short- handed online cash games.

The book is 307 pages of text with another40 pages of appendixes. The first section is rather short spanning only 58 pages to cover the early stages of tournament play with an emphasis on accumulating chips and optimal betting strategy. The main focus of the book is on the end game play that is covered extensively in section two. This is where you will find the strategies for dealing with the different situations you will find yourself in throughout the tournament. This section explains how you should approach the game differently with varying chip stack sizes throughout tournament to modify your play accordingly. The most important information is how to play in short handed and heads up play at the end of the tournament.

The third section of Kill Everyone covers other topics that are more general in nature than specific examples. These deal with playing against better players, tournament luck, tells and reads and finally tournament preparation.
Improve Your Skills
Kill Everyone is not a book that you will read once and put on the shelf. In fact because of the emphasis on the math of the game you will probably find yourself re-reading many parts as you go along. It is also a book that you will want to refer back to after you have play a few more tournaments incorporating the strategies in the book.

Most players have a weakness in one area or another during tournament play. You may play too loose or too tight during different stages of the tournament. The concepts in this book will help you do a better job of analyzing your own situation during any given time throughout the tournament to help you adjust your play for the best chances of winning.

The book deals extensively with two situations that give many players the most difficulty during a tournament: being near the bubble and during short-handed and heads up play at the end. The specific examples will surely help you improve your game regardless of your current skill level.

I learned from this book and I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their No Limit Texas Holdem tournament strategy , i thinks its the best advanced book.
