"Killer Poker": John Vorhaus' Book for Poker Fans

Poker author John Vorhaus declares "I'm a bully. I'm a bastard. I push people around." These are the instincts that he wants to partake to the readers of his poker book "Killer Poker" in order to improve their poker skills.

"Killer Poker" has six divisions. One of those divisions is titled "What is Killer Poker," which is somewhat like the introductory section of this poker book. John Vorhaus also discusses the errors that poker players commit in the second section of "Killer Poker" titled "Fixing the Holes. The third division of this poker book is titled "Cards in Context," which tackles pertinent themes relating to poker. The fourth division of "Killer Poker" is titled "The Poker Self," which offers a look at the factors that affect the skills of poker players in a negative way and prevents them from doing their best during poker games. The fifth division of "Killer Poker" is called "Being and Becoming." This section presents several solutions on how to overcome some aspects of humanity that prevents poker players from winning at poker games. The last division of "Killer Poker" is titled "Odds and Ends," which mainly focuses on the opinions and points of views of John Vorhaus.

The message that John Vorhaus wants to partake to his readers is the augmentation of aggression. However, such message is only half of what he truly wants to partake to his audience. The other message that John Vorhaus wants to communicate to the readers of "Killer Poker" is the pertinence for poker players to accept their limitations as well as their faults. John Vorhaus emphasizes the fact that once poker players have accepted their limitations, their ability to understand those limitations follows. Furthermore, understanding those limitations allows poker players to be liberated from them.

John Vorhaus successfully teaches the readers of "Killer Poker" on how to identify their weaknesses. With the way John Vorhaus explains this part of his poker book, it seems somewhat difficult for poker players to succeed in identifying their weak points. The exercises with regard to such matter seem arduous to do but then, once poker players have done it successfully, they will find the exercises very rewarding. Indeed, this poker book is something we really recommend to poker players because of its effectiveness.

Despite the fact that "Killer Poker" does not tackle that much poker strategies that will help readers gain a winning advantage, the pieces of advice and other details mentioned by John Vorhaus in this poker book are definitely valuable that the book becomes highly recommendable.
