Doyle Brunson, the legendary two-time World Series of Poker champion, is the greatest poker player in the world. He is the author of Super System, the most influential poker book ever written and the bible of the game, and its highly anticipated sequel Super System 2, which made the New York Times extended bestseller list.


Customer Reviews

The Worst Poker Book Currently in Print1
I bought this book because I highly respect Doyle Brunson as a poker player and author (Super System I). Unfortunately this book contains less information about being successful at on-line poker than an Internet Poker for Dummies book would. All of the useful information appears on approximately ten pages which may be helpful to players who are new to Internet play. Mr. Brunson's expertise is clearly in live games and tournaments. He offers little insights into on-line tournament or ring game play.

As a poker player I was very disappointed that the bulk of the book contained the basic rules of poker and instructions on how to download poker software. Many pages discussed Doyle's poker site ([...]) and how great a poker player he is. After spending approximately one hour reading this book, I raced to Barnes and Noble to return it.

This is the worst book on on-line poker and may be the poorest poker guide currently in print. I advise all poker players to avoid buying this book. Super System I and Super System II are much better values, if you are interested in Dolly Brunson's approach to Texas Hold'em. Consider Internet Texas Hold'em by Matthew Hilger for a solid book on playing limit Hold'em on-line.

Excellent1
This product makes an outstanding paper weight. It can also be used to protect kitchen and dining surfaces from warm serving dishes. It includes over 191 different pieces that might be useful when starting a camp-fire. Numerous options for paper airplanes. All in all a very versatile product. Not recommended in any way as an aid to someone looking for information on how to play online poker, other than you can rest a cold beverage on it while you play.

Dolly just bluffed me out of a fifteen dollar pot!1
I just received this book this morning and after reading it in about an hour this is exactly how i feel. This book is mainly concerned with teaching novices how to sign up for and get money into online games. Doyle provides the exact same online poker write up that is included in Super System 2 and little else. About half way through the book I decided to skim through to the end to find something other than fluff and I found a quote that really angered me, "I need to remind you that this isn't a book on poker strategy. It's a book intended to get you familiar with the idea of playing poker online...". Now, I absolutely love Doyle, but I'm sorry I don't need him to write a book on how to download software for Doylesroom.com and then open up an online bank account and he should have known that. I really thought this was going to be THE book on online strategy and I have been eagerly awaiting what this master of the game had to offer although now I am completely dissapointed. Do not purchase this book unless you really want to spend fifteen dollars on an endorsement for [...] and a how to for signing up online.
