Death or Mathematics?

I'm 93 FPP off clearing a Pokerstars bonus and will also have enough points for a book. I'm not sure if I should get Kill Phil or The Mathematics of Poker.

I already own The Theory of Poker and plenty of books on cash games but no real books on tournament strategy (I own the little green and blue books but they are more example-based). In the back of my mind I realise I should prepare for the Sin City Showdown at some stage!

Has anyone read either or both of these and have any comments of recommendations for/against them?

Thanks,

David.

Re: Death or Mathematics?

I bought Mathematics about 2 weeks ago along with All 3 of the Harrington on Hold Em' Series. Im almost done with the Harrington ones and will be giving the Math one a try. Seems like its not extremely interesting reading, but definately helpful

Re: Death or Mathematics?

Apparently Mathematics defeats Death!

20-odd points until I order. I'll go with Mathematics based on its enthusiastic reception. And I'll probably find it interesting reading too!

HoH might be a better choice for tournament text anyway so I will note that for future purchase.

Thanks for the advice,

David.

Re: Death or Mathematics?

i'll just stick up for kill phil. if you're a good enough player that you don't take it too literally, it's a great book.

When I first read this thread's title, I thought it was going to be about Archimedes...

(do I win the "greatest dork" prize?)
