Rating: Summary: Doyle's No Limit Hold'em chapter is excellent! Review: During the years I have red about 10 books about Hold'em but must admit Doyle Brunson's chapter in Super System is still simply the best. You won't need much more to start with No Limit Hold'em than this. Other books are more or less just repetition of this one.
Rating: Summary: POKER'S BEST Review: For sure the best poker book I ever red. In this book, a lot of strategy and understandable lesons.Author of the more significant line about poker : "Never play Soft..." You know nothing about poker before reading this book.
Rating: Summary: Super system Review: I didn't find the book very helpfull. It takes alot to comprehend. Here is the book in a nut shell.....BET>BET>BET. Save your money, better yet, play your money away. You will learn more in the long run.
Rating: Summary: This book has improved my game immensely! Review: I got this book about 2 weeks ago from a friend, and I have to honestly say its an amazing book. Some people equate it with the "bible" of poker for its immense details on many different poker games. It definately makes you a more complete player by detailing out different styles, and types of poker. It's a must read for any poker player. The section on NL poker is really good. After reading that section, and learning how to bet adequately with implied and pot odds, and obviously watching my opponents carefully -- I signed up at PartyPoker.com with the code "MONEYTIME" for a $25 on First Deposit and I've made over $2000 on PartyPoker.com. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experiences. About the NL Section specifically: Doyle is the acknowledged expert in this game. However, if his style (super agressive with the intent of dominating the table) doesn't suit you, the specific advice might not do you much good. Anyway, Just helping fellow Poker Players out: use the code "MONEYTIME" at PartyPoker.com if you want $25 on your first deposit. May the flop be with you! :)
Rating: Summary: Buy this book if you want to win home games. Review: I just purchased this book and have applied the no limit holdem part to our games that my associates and I play. I have won every time and they are scared of me when I bet. Great Book. It paid for itself.
Rating: Summary: still a classic Review: i just re-read this book after finishing Ford's How to Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like A Chicken, and was amazed at the similarity in experience level and confidence in writing...
I'm anxiously looking forward to the upcoming Super System 2 as I've read that it expands upon the original strategies in Super System, and has some advice from Jennifer Harmon, the greatest woman poker player ever.
Rating: Summary: Little Out-Dated Review: I read Super-System then went to apply it in modern day poker...and it doesnt work that well. Please keep in mind the Texas Dolly won these tournaments in 77'78...a long, long time ago. Most of these stratigies are no longer helpful, and his philsophy is bet>bet>bet>, a tight aggressive player can pick up on this in no time and have you wondering where your money went to. the texas dolly hasnt done so well in recent tournaments because, his stratigie is out-dated and easy to read. Although there are some helpful tips in this book, i would not recommend this book #1..
Rating: Summary: The Super System (Who Knew) Review: I thought I was the only one who knew how to create a system but alas this book has shown that I am not alone. Using the Super System I have not only a better poker player, but also have flatter abs, less nasal congestion, and better digestion (all without the help of Atkins!!!). Now while ones results will varry, I think this book is well worth the price especially since the cover is so amusing, and since this book has led to such relief of some of my other long term problems such as flatulence, depression, and sleepiness. While I know that Che (or his friends call him Chevara) Disagree's with me on this one, I still think the book is well worth the price.
Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: I tried it several times. It does seem to do mostly what the author claims. Though it is not the easiest of matters. You have to concentrate if you expect to be successful with applying his suggestions. It's very easy to slip and then have a few hands and bidding go south on you.
Rating: Summary: Not entirely outdated... Review: I would say this: If you don't read and learn this book's strategy and theory regarding no limit hold'em, you are missing something at the table. Yes, the lowball sections and some of the others are outdated because those games have changed or disappeared entirely. However, the no-limit holdem sections, and especially Brunson's own, are still bible.
