This book uses the most up-to-date poker ICM solvers, however it has been written in a way to make the poker math you need to do at the tables very simple. Every chapter starts from a poker GTO framework but then explains how you should deviate when the players or table dynamics change.
It covers major adjustment in PKO play, including a short hand way to decide on calling ranges, the poker game theory behind why you should never late register, post flop play, poker mindset issues unique to PKOs and much more. It has everything a texas hold'em player needs to crush knockout tournaments.
