All the SuperSystem authors are still prominent figures in the poker world -- except Joey Hawthorne, the guy who wrote the lowball section. Does anyone know what he is doing now?

According to Doyle Brunson, he died because of drugs...I don't know if he O.D.'ed or if they just wore him down.

Sorry to hear that. I was thinking that given how everyone says what a tough lifestyle pro poker is (and I have no doubt it is all true) the guys who wrote this book back almost thirty years ago have all done pretty well. Although except for Brunson and Reese, they are known as much as authors/speakers/casino executives as they are as players.
