The Split Apple Thoughtful Food Cookbook:
Fast, fuss-free food that will keep you forever young

AUTHORS: Anne Pen Lee, Lee Nelson

Across the world today there’s a real hunger to learn how to prepare delicious food that’s also good for you. Traditionally, a healthy lifestyle has long been associated with deprivation: a diet deficient in the key food groups of alcohol, caffeine and chocolate; uniformly dull and boring meals; starvation-size portions; and with very little in the way of spices, herbs and, oh yes ... taste.   

But fabulous food can contribute to good health, fight ageing, guarantee weight loss, combat stress, crank up energy levels and promote longevity, if thoughtfully selected and prepared. And the proof, as they say, is in the pudding (and the entree and main meal).

Written by a doctor with a lifetime dedication to food, nutrition and health, and his wife who trained all around the world in culinary arts, The Split Apple Thoughtful Food Cookbook is a new approach to cooking that takes the science of what food does to our bodies and combines it with inspired tastes and textures worthy of the finest restaurants and funkiest cafes.

The Split Apple Thoughtful Food Cookbook is a book for anyone looking for a healthier lifestyle and diet, presenting enticing and easy-to-cook dishes that look great, taste delicious and leave you feeling the best you possibly can. Its recipes range from adaptations of long-time family favourites with simple substitutions of a few key ingredients, to exciting, novel dishes that will thrill the tastebuds and inspire more ambitious creations.

And where it differs from any other cookbook is that it’s written by a doctor who used food to help beat cancer, employing recipes backed by years of scientific research, and brought to life by an inspired and imaginative cook.

The Raiser's Edge
Tournament-poker strategies for today's aggressive game

AUTHORS: Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, and Tony Dunst

In the highly fluid and fast-changing tournament-poker universe, the dominant trend is toward looser and more aggressive (LAG) play, in which players move chips around at dizzying speeds. The Raiser’s Edge shows you how to adapt to the current state of all stages of tournament play, analysing how and why the LAG and hyper-LAG styles work, and instructing on how to apply—and defend against—them.

This book closely examines the many techniques used by the world’s most successful players, including 3- and 4-betting, floating and squeezing, smooth-calling and min-raising, thin value betting, and the evolution of the metagame, along with equilibrium strategies based on starting hands and heads-up play. Even the ages and nationalities of your opponents are considered. There’s also an extensive bonus chapter on reading tells, contributed by body-language expert Steve Van Aperen.

Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, one of the hottest tournament-poker players in the world, has teamed up with Lee Nelson and Tysen Streib, authors of the acclaimed advanced tournament strategy book Kill Everyone, and poker star Tony Dunst to pen this groundbreaking title.

With tournament poker evolving at a furious pace, serious players need to be ahead of the curve. The Raiser’s Edge conveys the powerful state-of-the-art tactics that will get you there fast.

Kill Phil:
The Fast Track to Success in No-Limit Hold’em Poker Tournaments

REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION

AUTHORS: Blair Rodman, Lee Nelson, Steven Heston

Thanks to television, the Internet, and the incredible popularity of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, when Kill Phil was first published in 2006, tournament poker had become the richest sport in the world. The problem was that No Limit Hold’em was dominated by a handful of experienced and skilled professional players. Kill Phil turned the tables on the pros by introducing a strategy that allowed even an absolute novice to compete against the best players in the world.

The Kill Phil strategy remains highly effective when used in confrontations with even the world’s best players, but tournament play is evolving. This revised edition reflects the trends in tournament poker by refining the use of the all-in move and providing adaptations that take into account the new style of hyper-aggressive play.

At its core, though, Kill Phil remains what it’s been from the start – the best method possible for entering the exciting and potentially lucrative poker tournament arena.

Features include:

• Learn an abbreviated system – the “Kill Phil Rookie” – that’s simple enough to be mastered within an hour and powerful enough to make you competitive in your first tournament.

• Climb the Kill Phil ladder, learning more powerful strategies as you gain real-time experience.

• Adjust your play for success in online tournaments, sit ‘n’ goes, and single-table satellites. 

As a special bonus, this new edition contains the complete set of strategies formatted as they appear on the Kill Phil strategy cards – an added $14.95 value!

Kill Everyone: 
Advanced strategies for No Limit Hold’em poker tournaments and sit-n-goes

REVISED AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION
 

In this revised and expanded second edition, Kill Everyone adds even more ammunition to a tournament poker player’s arsenal. In addition to groundbreaking analysis of fear-and-fold equity and equilibrium, plus the presentation of optimal strategies for the bubble, the end-game, and heads-up play, this second edition adds 50 pages of incisive commentary from the hottest tournament-poker player in the world, Bertrand ElkY Grospellier, and a new chapter on short-stack cash games to go with the original discussion of playing in short-handed cash games.

Kill Phil was a revolutionary poker manual—its simplified yet potent strategies empowered even rank novices to compete against the world’s best poker players. Kill Everyone begins where Kill Phil left off. Its perfect blend of real-time experience, poker math, and computational horsepower combine to create new concepts and advanced strategies never before seen in print for multi-table tournaments, Sit-n-Go’s, and satellites.

Includes special commentary from Bertrand ElkY Grospellier AND BONUS colour inserts.
