Ida know... Maybe he picked up a few tips from Data. Data was pretty awesome at poker when he played against Pickard.

John Vorhaus is the author, Wheaton only writes the foreword. The original Killer Poker book spawned a strategy book, a workbook, and now this second volume. I like Vorhaus' online articles and his writing style is entertaining, but don't expect anything groundbreaking you didn't already know. He does have a No-Limit book coming out in Mar 2007 that might be interesting.

Volume I was garbage.

Live long and prosper people .... err thanks.

I read some of the other books by the author. There is no way he is even a winning poker player. Do not waste your time or your money.

As mentioned, Wil Wheaton just wrote the forward to this so-so book by Jon Vorhaus (there were a couple of interesting philosophical ideas towards online play, but nothing in the form of hard strategy).

However, Wil Wheaton has written a surprisingly excellent semi-autobiographical book based on his blog called "Just a Geek." Candid, honest, and very entertaining -- not just for Trekkies.

don't buy it. John Vorhaus is not much of a poker player.

Volume 1 in a nutshell:

"Don't be a pussy, raise."
