P o ker Tourn am e nt John Vorhaus | Fundraiser Sponsored in part by Cordillera. Start practicing your poker face and get ready to go all in when Vegas comes to Vail for one night benefitting the Vail Symposium this winter. Author and poker expert John Vorhaus will be on hand to play at various tables and offer tips throughout the evening. A b o u t J o h n V o rha u s John Vorhaus is the only poker strategist/ theorist to have written for all four major poker publications: Card Player, Poker World, Poker Europa, and Poker Digest. His first poker book, “The Pro Poker Playbook”, published in the mid1990s, earned the praise of Mike Caro, America’s Mad Genius of Poker, who wrote, “With this book, John Vorhaus goes beyond his own stature as one of the great poker writers...he comes of age as an important poker analyst.” His second poker book, “Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker Play”, hit the bookstores in late 2002, soon followed by “Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game”, which rushed to the top of the Amazon sales chart. The third book in the series, “The Killer Poker Hold’em Handbook”, was released in 2004. Outside the poker realm, Vorhaus works as a scriptwriter, screenwriter, and story development consultant. He is perhaps best known for his book “The Comic Toolbox: How to be Funny Even if you’re Not”. He’s a graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University and a member of the Writers Guild of America. He has taught writing at Northwestern University and the American Film Institute.
