Who Is the Best Writer Who Has Written a Poker Strategy Book?

Anthony Holden FTW, though his strategy book sucks.

Tony Holden writing a strategy book would certainly move him to the top of my list, but I wasn't aware that he did. What's it called?

Don't trouble yourself: it is some kind of basic thing.

Harrington. I say this because his style of writing really kept my attention.

It's a basic book that I read years ago, but Caro's Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker is very elegantly written. It's the sort of thing that expresses ideas so well they seem simple and obvious.

I have over 50 poker books and I would have to say my vote would be for 3 authors that really stand out: Roy Cooke, King Yao and James McManus... James has the advantage of already being a professional writer and although he has not written a strategy book per se, I think his writing style would be perfect for such a book.

Cooke
Holden
Bellin

This is a very profound book anything but basic. The elegance of the prose makes everything clear and makes it sound 'obvious'.

Yes, you are quite right. Caro is a fine writer, with a jocular style.

I especially like his articles on 2+2 Magazine.

the hi/lo book is 2+2's best IMO

I also like Carson's Hold'em book.
