John Vorhaus has written more than two million words about poker
in a career stretching back to 1988 and including stints with every
major poker publication. His first book, The Pro Poker Playbook
is now a hard-to-find classic, but in recent years his prolific
pen has yielded Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker
Play, Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game, and The Killer
Poker Hold'em Handbook, featuring a foreword by none other than
UB's own Annie Duke. The most recent addition to the Vorhausian
oeuvre is Poker Night: Winning at Home, in Casinos, and Beyond,
from St. Martin's Press.
When not writing about poker or playing poker, Vorhaus writes screenplays
and television shows, and travels extensively teaching others how
to do these things. His seminal writing books, The Comic Toolbox
and Creativity Rules! have guided and informed writers worldwide.
"As a poker player," claims Vorhaus modestly, "I'm
a pretty good writer," but his approach to the game is more
aptly summed up by the theme of his Killer Poker series, "Go
big or go home!" |
