Vote For Your Favorite All-Time Poker Author

[Lost Wages]

Your vote should be based on the totality of an author's work not, "I liked this book best so I voted for him". Works could include books, magazine articles, internet postings, etc.

Lost Wages

John Fox. The totality of his work was one book, but it was "Play Poker, Quit Work, And Sleep 'Til Noon." A classic.

I voted other as a lark. With all due respect to Mason, I don't see how anyone could vote for anyone other than Sklansky.

I voted for Ed because he writes better than everyone else on the list (Caro included).

Hi Andy:

I guess you never read his book on home poker.

Best wishes,
Mason

Well, "favourite" is different than "best", "most instructive", "most influential" etc.

I don't think that there is any doubt that Skalnsky is the best author of poker books. Mason ranks very highly as well.

But Cooke is right up there for me in terms of who is my favourite author. I loved his "Play of Hands" books and continue to read his CP articles online.

The John Fox book is a classic. Man, what an angle shooter.

the 2+2 team in general. I dont think Mason gets enough credit for the books.

I voted for Sklansky, but Cooke would be my other choice if we could have picked two. I am surpised he is the only one, so far, without any votes. Boo, read Cooke.

Also Jim McManus wrote a great book and Daniel N. has some interesting articles

[Phat Mack]

Sklansky is my favorite, but have to mention Irv Roddy, John Fox and Frank Wallace for their insights into non-cardroom poker.

McManus and it isn't close.
