that the gist of kill Phil strategy is for weaker players to play extremely aggressively pre-flop and on the flop to avoid being outplayed on the turn and river by the more experienced players. It's similar to a "The System" discussed by David Sklansky in his tournament book. In the System, Sklansky advised a complete novice to only enter pots with one of a very small number of hands (6-16, if I remember), and if going in, to move all in. It's pretty extreme. If you have confidence in your play, I don't know if I would use either of these strategies. Against a pro, however, it does take away most of their advantages.
