I believe Roy Hashimoto is the person who first described the kicker battle in hold'em as being "domination."
No. The first edition of the Jones book was sub-par.

His laggy/aggressive, show down bound style caused many heated debates (mostly with Malmuth iirc), but this was the beginning of the end for "tight is right" play. Not to take anything away from the other mentions, but Izmet was definitely ahead of his time.
This is news to me. I don't think you can find any posts like this.

Just though of Andrew Prock. Cantankerous poster but he did invent pokerstove which was way way ahead of its time. Sklansky was still counting combos on his fingers.

All I remember about Prock was that he posted some things everyone thought were ridiculous and then a couple years later everyone realized they were really really smart.
