Doyle Brunson's Super System II
by Doyle Brunson
Spotlight Reviews
Caveat Emptor. , February 10, 2005
Reviewer: Bernard Chapin "Ora Et Labora!" (Blue Island, Illinois United States)
I love Doyle Brunson, I love "Super System," and I love poker, but I cannot figure out why he chose to make this book as scattered in focus as he did. In 1978, it was easy to understand why a manual that covered numerous forms of poker would be released, but nowadays, all you see on TV (with a few WSOP exceptions) is Texas Hold 'Em. So why did Doyle make a book that wastes the talent of Daniel Negreanu on "Triple Draw?" I concede that the reader may be a far more in depth player than I am, but most of us play Hold'Em and little else. "Seven-Card Stud High-Low-Eight-or Better" also seems rather pointless to me. Who cares? I was further deflated to see that he reprinted his life story and original No Limit advice in these pages. I know all of that stuff from "Super System." If it's not new, don't waste our time. The best parts of this book are Doyle on internet poker, the tips from Mike Caro, and Jennifer Harman's section on Limit Hold'Em. These sections are why I give it three stars, but honestly, I looked
forward to getting it and am dissatisfied with its quality.
