John Vorhaus has written more than two million words about poker in a career stretching back to 1988 and including stints with every major poker publication. His first book, The Pro Poker Playbook is now a hard-to-find classic, but in recent years his prolific pen has yielded Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker Play, Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game, and The Killer Poker Hold'em Handbook, featuring a foreword by none other than UB's own Annie Duke. The most recent addition to the Vorhausian oeuvre is Poker Night: Winning at Home, in Casinos, and Beyond, from St. Martin's Press.

When not writing about poker or playing poker, Vorhaus writes screenplays and television shows, and travels extensively teaching others how to do these things. His seminal writing books, The Comic Toolbox and Creativity Rules! have guided and informed writers worldwide. "As a poker player," claims Vorhaus modestly, "I'm a pretty good writer," but his approach to the game is more aptly summed up by the theme of his Killer Poker series, "Go big or go home!"
