‘Kill Phil’ - New Age Tournament Poker
Tournament poker has undergone a drastic change since the beginning of the century. For more than a couple of decades, the “old school” cash game style of the Texas road gamblers seemed to be the way that most followed in poker. It is a grind it out style, one where players sit back and wait for those big hands and the “moments of terror” that they bring. Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson are looking to change that theory of thought.
