Re: Who Is the Best Writer Who Has Written a Poker Strategy Book?
My first thought was Ciaffone. I like Ed as well, but I prefer Bob. I also like Largay, but I find Vohaus is just trying to hard to be funny. Kind of like McManus.

Re: Who Is the Best Writer Who Has Written a Poker Strategy Book?
I've had the pleasure of reading many of the books by the famous players. Harrington, Brunson, Miller and Jones all score high marks for teaching poker strategy.
But, the question is.... who is the best writer? Considering the fact that most poker pro's use ghost writers, we are left with only a few obvious choices. Vorhaus and Yardley have to rank at the top of the list. But, there's a new kid on the block. Sam O'Connor's How to Dominate $1 and $2 No Limit Hold'Em is educational and entertaining! I've had the pleasure of reading this book as a work in progress on Sam's old site NothingWild. He has a definitive narrative style and the sprinkling of short stories are great. If you haven't read The Death of a Shuffle Machine, buy the book just for that story alone! O'Connor is a writer who happens to be a poker player, not a poker poker player who happened to write a book. O'Connor obviously knows his poker. The book covers a lot of territory and certainly has content suitable for any level of player from novice players to semi pro. In my humble opinion, this book is a must for any serious poker player.

Re: Who Is the Best Writer Who Has Written a Poker Strategy Book?
Roy Cooke is by far the best allround poker writer I've read, and it's not very close. Well, ok, Vorhaus is pretty entertaining but really has nothing very much to say.
Most of the others mentioned so far are solid, interesting but unspectacular writers - haven't read Sam O'Connor or Yardley's books though.

Re: Who Is the Best Writer Who Has Written a Poker Strategy Book?
I haven't read any poker book from cover to cover yet. But from the skimming through the books that were shipped to me this week, I like King Yao's writing style.
