Joey Hawthorne
The article reads, in full: "Joey Hawthorne was a poker player who wrote the lowball section in Doyle Brunson's Super/System. Joey died of a drug overdose while in his forties and his career never took off." and receives 380 matches on google, many of which are relevant. Are deceased poker players who once contributed to a how-to book on playing poker notable in this instance? If so, why?
