Robert Varkonyi\'s Poker Strategy Manual
 

In the ESPN broadcast of the 2003 WSOP, Robert Varkonyi is shown with a poker strategy manual that he and an MIT buddy put together. They claimed it accounted for all the possible situations Varkonyi could get involved in, and had the appropriate strategy laid out. The thing was huge and resembled a gigantic manual for a computer program.

Has anyone ever seen what this manual looked like? What a sample page might have looked like? How it may have laid out the strategy? Because of the existence of this manual, is there reason to believe that Varkonyi [and friend] could author an effective poker strategy book in the future?

this manual is well known in the higher circles. the information contained within is so powerful that it has been kept secret lest the fishes obtain thereby completely equalizing mtt poker for future history.

He decided never to use it again lest it fall into the wrong hands, for it's power was too great.

His MIT advisor was the head of the famous MIT blackjack team. What was interesting is that ESPN showed his face during that broadcast, yet when I've seen him interviewed in other venues, he refused to have his face shown on camera.

It was a compilation of Tom McEvoy books. lolololol

Re: Robert Varkonyi\'s Poker Strategy Manual
 

Of course his strategy manual is still a secret. If everyone knew his methods, he wouldn't be the dominant tournament player that he has been since having the manual.

He was playing at the Borgata last Fri/Sat. My son played with him at the 5/10 NL. He got stacked for about $2000 with 97 on a board of 97x9A to AA. Almost all of the $$$ went in on the river.

Manual said call.

Does the manual talk about being in a situation where an ugly, bald mand has an even uglier wife and seems miserable.
