An advanced strategy for making money by writing a poker book - By: Ex poker player, 08 Jan 2008 
After playing poker online for about two years, & usuallly just managing to break even or make a slight profit, I wanted to try & improve my game & make more consistent profits. However, since buying this book & following its advice, my poker bankroll has plummeted. I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the only people who make money out of online poker are the site owners & the people who write poker books.

Much Better This Time, John! - By: Karn9evil, 27 Apr 2007 
I was 'underwhelmed' by John Vorhaus's first 'Killer Poker Online' book - which surprised me, as I'd always enjoyed his Poker Player Strategy Articles over the last few years. So I decided (given Amazon's competitive price) to give his 2nd Online book a go, in the hope the promise of 'Advanced Strategies' would fit the bill more as an improving intermediate player. I'm pleased to say I have found the book much better & even if it lacks the intensity & detail of the classic books of Harrington, Sklansky & most recently Arnold Synder, I have found his chatty, yet well thought-out views on tackling tournaments, sitngos & heads-up to be enlightening & hopefully very useful. There's much more meat in this book (I think the first would have benefitted from this type of depth) & already as someone who plays tight-aggressive, but perhaps not always as aggressive as I should be, I am seeing his observations as being helpful. There's still no guarantee that your pocket rockets won't get cracked alll-in by K8o, but I think it will improve the chance of going deeper into tournaments with bigger stacks more often, playing heads-up much better, & judging cash table opponents better. I'd still recommend the other books to give you the advanced grounding, but this internet book complements such books well & should pay back your investment in it very quickly. Well done, John - my faith in you has been restored.
A couple of Fab ideas - By: Helensman, 29 Jan 2007 Although this isnt a great book, the author does have some reallly good ideas. The sections on reading opponents (throughout the book) are well written & extremely useful. The book covers cash,tournament & sit & go no limt online play. I have introduced the authors ideas on note taking to my game (with a few alterations & several hiccups) & can think of actual hands & games when I made enough money to cover the purchase price. Beginers beware, this is a book to improve the play of those that can play & in my experience it did exactly that. If you play me on line just write AO HC CD in my notes page, buy the book if you want to know what it means.
Something new to think about - By: Pa Caswell, 12 Jan 2007 If you are looking for hand examples, or how much to bet pre-flop, on the turn or river then you will be sadly disappointed. This book is alll about a mental approach to poker, & in particular on the internet. Vorhaus demonstrates that there is a wealth information available to better inform your decisions.
I try to take at least one concept from every poker book I read, in this there are at least 5 that were either new to me, or explained established ideas in a better way. Just ask yourself "What is an orphan flop?"
Enjoyable, readable. I have had it a week & I am already reading it again.
