Hi Dogger,

My name is Lee Nelson and I'm the co-author of Kill Phil with Blair Rodman.

A number of players have reported improved results using Kill Phil strategies for online play. The Kill Phil strategies are dependent upon what hands typical players are likely to call with. Although we designed our online strategy to reflect a looser playing standard, if you're consistently finding that players in the tournaments you're playing are willing to commit all their chips when faced with an all-in decision, with hands such as QTo or KJ, we'd suggest tightening by a group or two. In loose-calling games overbetting your big hands pays huge dividends.

Additionally, if you determine that you're one of the better players at the level of play you've chosen, you're the Phil! In instances such as this, relying on small ball should serve you well, until the later stages of the tournament where long ball applications are particularly useful for maintaining stack size and determining when to call desperate short stacks. Also the Beyond Basic and Expert sections of the text should be utilized. These sections apply both to live and online tournaments.

Regards,

Lee
