Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was very good. I loved many of the parts and it provides the reader with a framework on how to play poker. I started playing with my new found knowledge (...) Im not sure how long it will last...but im hoping for a while :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book Is The Best Poker Book I Have Read
Review: This is my favorite poker book of all time. It has alot of insights from odds, to game theory, to various ways to approach different hands. I would advise the book only to advanced players with significant experience and the desire to vary their play. The authors system really only works for a super agressive player who is not only extremely talented, but very disciplined. Not many people can emulate this style, and most who try will lose massive amounts of money!!! I Hope This Helps.

Summary: A Good, but Dangerous Book
Review: This is one of my favorite poker books of all time, however, not necessarily for its strategic value. Granted, each and every section of this book has some very valuable insights from odds, to game theory, to various ways to approach different hands. With that said, what I find particularly noteworthy are the little details and anecdotes from Brunson Himself. From Broomcorns unkle to Old Blocky and the Beer Hand, it's the details and Doyles obvious passion for the game that really make this book a standout.

However, as I would advise the book only to advanced players with significant experience and the desire to vary their play. The authors system really only works for a super agressive player who is not only extremely talented, but very disciplined. Not many people can emulate this style, and most who try WILL LOSE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY!!!

With that said, at this price (I bought the hardcover version long ago for $50+), you really can't lose. It's a great addition to any poker library.

Summary: If you are new to Poker you need this... or already a pro!
Review: This is the bible (small b) of poker. This was the very first book I read before I ever started playing and I am so thankful I did. And yet, it's not directed at the absolute beginner, necessarily. It's directed at anyone who wants to raise their skill level (with lots of work) to a pro-like level.

A beginner can follow along without trouble and master this book. I did. But one who's played for years REALLY has a chance to shine here. Why not just master and do what the pros do? You will learn that here.

I assure you that 99% of all players you ever play with will NOT have mastered this book. If you do, you will win over time. Oh sure, many will OWN this book, but it will sit in their shelf. Becuase to become good, you must become skilled. Toss luck out the window, luck is for chumps. (Losing chumps.)

The answer to life-long winning (unless you play aganst Doyle or Mike Caro!) is mastering these guys here. Most players will never get this book. Most of those who do will never read it. Most who read it will never master it. That leaves a very small winner's circle waiting for you to step in if you dedicate the time you need to spend. Are you willing? If you don't wish to master the concepts in this book, then I sure would like to play against you some time in a little parlor game of high stakes poker...!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the only book you need
Review: This is the book, you do not need to buy anything else. It was written 25 years ago but your game is going to change forever. I bougth some others books like Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'em and Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players but I think I wasted my money. The part about Texas Hold'em is brillant but all book is very well written.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic book
Review: this is the first and so far the best poker book i have ever read. it describes in great detail how you should play the game of poker. i recommend this book to anyone who wants to vastly improve on how they play the game

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only the best!!!
Review: This is the only Poker book you need. It's got it all, written by the Grand Master of Texas Hold-em. It gives you easy-to-remember ideas and methods. It's an easy read compared to most other Poker books, and the stuff they tell you to do REALLY WORKS!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The poker bible
Review: This is THE poker book. This is the most respected poker book of poker professionals, and is considered the poker player's bible. The above review mentioned that the book is 'out of date'. Sorry, but I disagree.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read This & Play to Win. - Don't Read & Play to Lose
Review: This is the world champion's book. Why wouldn't you want it to be yours too?

Do not be mislead by other books. Some are good and some are bad but you will never know unless you read this one first.

Also, you will not know what the world champions truly teach and say about the game unless you read this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super/System is a must buy
Review: This is THEE Poker book to purchase. Pratically all poker books today are perhaps descended from this mammoth of a book. The real gems are the chapers on Limit and NL hold'em, classics in their own right. But perhaps the most overlooked chapter is Reese's chapter on 7-stud. It's not to long, and I feel Reese could have explained even more, but this chapter itself is worth more than many 7 stud books out there.

Get this book!!! Reading and absorbing it will put you on a plateau above players who have never heard of this book. Seriously, play your style now, then read Super/System, and you will wonder why you were ignorant enough to play hands that off the flop will almost always draw dead. Read it, and your game jitters will go down, because Super System will give you immeasureable confidence at any poker table.
