About

John Vorhaus is the only poker strategist/theorist to have written for all four major poker publications: Card Player, Poker World, Poker Europa, and Poker Digest. His first poker book, The Pro Poker Playbook, published in the mid-1990s, earned the praise of Mike Caro, America's Mad Genius of Poker, who wrote, "With this book, John Vorhaus goes beyond his own stature as one of the great poker writers...he comes of age as an important poker analyst."

His second poker book, Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker Play, hit the bookstores in late 2002, soon followed by Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game, which rushed to the top of the amazon.com sales chart. The third book in the series, The Killer Poker Hold'em Handbook, will be out in 2004.

Outside the poker realm, Vorhaus works as a scriptwriter, screenwriter, and story development consultant. Thanks largely to the success of his seminal writing book, The Comic Toolbox: How to be Funny Even if you're Not, John has been privileged to travel and teach in dozens of countries around the world. He lives in Monrovia, California, with his wife, Maxx, and his two dogs, and abides in cyberspace at www.vorza.com
