Killer Poker Short handed

I know John Vorhaus previous books had bad reviews by people on this site. John is more of a physcology guy then a strategy guy. Now Being that Tony Guerrera is going to be a co author in this new shorthanded book do you think this book will have stronger strategy conecepts then previous Killer Poker books?

John's NL book was OK, but that's simply because it was mostly a psychology book. NL is more of a people game than limit, limit is more about showing down the best hand. When you understand what it is, then Killer Poker No Limit is actually OK. Except for all of John's bad jokes.

I was not a fan of Tony's book, or the Hilger math book for that matter. And that's actually odd, because they were both FR NL books, and I'm a FR NL player. I also consider myself more of a mathematical player, and yet I disliked both those books and liked John's NL book.

Go figure?

And since I'm a FR NL guy I doubt I'll be reading Killer Poker Short Handed. Right now I'm reading How to Dominate, then Harry Potter 7, then PNL by Ed and the boys.

I bet the Weasley twins would be sick poker players...

While I certainly hope so, I doubt it. It seems clear that JV has no problem whoring out his name on sub-par books. What they are doing is similar to what McEvoy and Cloutier do in their 'championship series' (mass production) w/ very little new content.
