Summary: I gave it a five because i couldn't give it an 11
Review: I'm a 19 year old college student and considered myself a good hold'em player. Then i heard about this book and decided to read it. Since then, i've been winning over $1000/semester. People may say this book is outdated, but i don't care this is the best book i've read so far (out of 5). Do not do what this book says to the T, use what it teaches and mold your game from it... Books are simply roadmaps, but you are the driver. The knowledge i have learned from this book set my basic roadmap of how to play hold'em, and i feel I have made myself an incredible strategy that branches off, this is simply a must read...

Summary: Out of date, but interesting from a historical perspective
Review: If you are looking for a quick way to improve your poker skills, this book is not for you. It is not in any hurry to give you a valuable advice on every page and the advice you do get is outdated. You will probably learn more from any good modern book, and it also will be shorter by a factor of three or more. Still, it is a great (and very thorough) look at poker the way it was 20 years ago, before poker literature really made its impact on the game. If you are a true poker aficionado, you might want to check it out.

Summary: The Best Advice
Review: If you want to be the best, you learn from the best. I've only read it once, and even now I've seen a drastic improvment in my game. He really shows you how to tell when a hand looks like junk, but is a gold mine, versus when a hand looks good but is junk. If you want to learn to be a better player, this is the book to read.

Summary: Simply a Masterpeice!
Review: Muslims have the Koran, Christians have the Bible, and poker players have Super System. I simply CANNOT believe that this book is so inexpensive! With all the overpriced books out there, here is one that is actually MUCH lower in price than it should be. Everyone who is anyone in the poker world has studied Super System. Does that say enough about it?

Summary: Gotta love Doyle Brunson
Review: My favorite thing about this book is Doyle's conversational style. He seems like an all-around great guy. Lots of cool stories in this book, along with the setup and rules for several different varieties of poker. Primarily what I took from this book is an aggressive style that probably does better in a *real* poker tournament/ring game than an online poker tournament/ring game. People tend not to notice or care how you play in an online game. In an online game there are far more showdowns than in a *real* poker game. So you lose some of the benefits of playing an aggressive style. That said, you'll never look at suited connectors again when Doyle teaches you how to play them.

Summary: A Classic
Review: Obviously a classic..but dated. There is no doubt why this book is a must have for serious poker players. Along with the Zen of Gambling and How to Gamble in the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken, this is one of the three gambling books every serious gambler should own.

Summary: Super System
Review: Poker any one? read this book and you will find yourself in the poker hand drivers seat. Pokers like driving a car, you have to know when to put on the brakes and know when to pour on the gas. After reading Doyles Brunson's book you have just completed the driving school of poker and your tank is on full, now its up to you, have a good drive. Larry Hobson Author " The Day Of The Rose"

Summary: I would recomend this... provided that on realizes
Review: THIS BOOK IS NOT THE GOSPEL
This is a wonderful collection written by some of the foremost poker players and theorists in the world. While there is a lot of useful information in this book, some of the contents are quite dated and some of the strategies in this book are precisely what caused Doyle to fair so poorly in the WSOP in the last few years. While I don't deny that there are useful strategies and ideas in this book (particularly Caro's section). I would advise that prior to using this book reading Skalansky's Hold'em for advanced players, which offers a much more cut and dry approach to the advancing hold'em player.

Summary: The greatest book ever
Review: This book is truly the omnibus of all poker knowledge, albeit circa the 1970's. My father gave his signed 1st ed. of this book for my college graduation, and Doyle sure has made my standard of living while in medical school. It must be said, however, that many of the topics in this book must be taken with a grain of salt. Super System was written in an era where big bets would often lead to big wins. For those of you that have come to know and love Rounders, the WPT, and WSOP, Johnny Chan's methods of check-raising and trapping have ushered in a new style of play that can successfully combat the Brunson system. Just remember to take Brunson's own advice: 'Take a little bit of my knowledge, a little of your own, and a what you learn other places. Trying to play my system just like me will only result in your failure. Instead, make sure that you invent your own style of play that you know and are comfortable. If your interested in internet poker I recommend PARTYPOKER.COM. It's the biggest poker room in the world. You also get a 25$ bonus on your first deposit with the code "AMAZONPOKER" at signup.
