Default If you could have your wish

Name 1 player to write a cash game book and 1 player to write a Tournament book that hasn't already done so.

I'll start:

Cash- Chip Reese (years and years of being a winner in the Big Game. Wrote a great chapter on Stud in Super System and is regarded as the most solid poker player in the world).

Tournament- John Juanda. One of the toughest tournament players out there. Juanda is strong in many games and possibly his book could mix in some Omaha tournament strategies as well as hold'em. I hope the book could focus at least one chapter on preflop play as I think Juanda is the master of that art.

Cash games:
Howard Lederer. Regarded by the high stakes players to be the best limit hold'em player in the world.

Tournaments:
John Juanda. For the same reasons you listed.

I think both of your choices are excellent... My preferences would be Howard Lederer and Johnny Chan.. respectively.

Johnny Chan has written a book. It is terrible.

I was not aware of that he wrote a book. I picked him because of his tournament record, particularly his world series record. But I suppose your poker history has nothing to do with being able to write a good book or wanting to.

I didn't even think of Stuey. He'd be even better. The man lived on the edge better than almost anyone.

I guess since he's no longer with us I can be forgiven for overlooking him since he's very unlikely to write any books that we'll get to read, at least in this world.

I respect Ungar as much as the next guy, but you can't put his playing style in writing so his book probably wouldn't be very good.

That being said, I would like to see a tournament co-written by Tiffany Williamson and Aaron Kanter.
