He wrote a book called "Oops! I Won Too Much Money: Winning Wisdom from the Boardroom to the Poker Table". Proving that poker players, despite their sometimes serious expressions, have a great sense of humor, Tom's book gives anecdotal stories with life lessons that transfer to the poker table as well as they do to a business setting.Tom Gets Down to Business After the book was published, Tom has continued to play and finish in the money. He is known for his public speaking and motivational abilities and his "I'm just an ordinary guy who likes to play poker" mentality. He shares his life experiences through his playing and through his book. Speaking of Tom's book, how could someone really earn TOO MUCH MONEY? You'll know when your "friends" ask to borrow money from you and no one wants to play against you anymore. But many of us would still like to see what it feels like.
