[PokerMaster]

Hey Guys, Im relatively new at poker, and I wanted to start to read poker related books, well since im a doyles big fan, i wanted to know what do you think about his books, and which one should i buy. thanx in advance

[LeFou]

I think maybe you should buy Super/System.

[PokerMaster]

Thanks for the tip.
Why?
Thanx in advance again

don't get super system. it's old and outdated, and super system 2 is coming out in 2 months which is supposed to take the poker world by storm like the first one did.

I agree with LeFou. If you are trying to decide which Brunson book to buy, Super System is your best option. *snicker*

[LeFou]

Thanks for the tip. Why?

'Cause it is easily the most important poker book ever written. Yes, there is dated material in there and no it is not the only book you'll ever need. You will definitely need S/S 2, for example. But it will get you going, in my opinion, in the right direction.

-Instead of 8+ "groups" of starting hands, and meticulous analysis of what to do with each of them, you get a friendly introduction to aggressive play, a bit of playing the player AND the cards at once.
-Sounds like you want to buy a Doyle book. So what are you going to buy? "Poker Wisdom"??!

[PokerMaster]

Can someone tell me some topics of the content in first book?

[PokerMaster]

Ive just order it, and Caros Poker tells. I hope it works!!!!

Super System covers limit and no limit holdem, 7 card stud, and then other games that are rarely played now (eg. lowball).

It is a bit outdated but I ofund it quite helpful still. It is very well written.
