I'm about 1/2 through this one right now. Very very aggro. It isn't very heavy into post flop, turn play. In fact - I don't think I've ready anything about turn play in it yet. Its all about putting your opponet to a decision for all his chips. It has different categories of hands (looser than HoH) and based on position, when to push pre-flop. For example, AA would warrant a push from any position regardless of chip stack, tourney stage, etc. A10 would warrant a push from the button with limpers (something like that).

The basic underlying philosophy of it is this: Your not as good as your opponents, if you try and outplay them, you will loose. You should not have to make any post flop decisions unless you were the BB and did not push. Push early and put them to the decision for all their chips.

They do get into some advanced "kill phil" techniques that advocate pot sized bets rather than pushes but I'm just getting to that now.

Entertaining read though.
