I have the second but not the first - you can normally buy like an Ebook of that section online, i might even have it somewhere cos my friend emailed it me. I went out and bought the book on the strength of that chapter so i think its pretty good. Id pass it about but thats illegal

yeah i would like to know about the second one also but i didnt know about buying it due to the fact that i only am interested in NL Holdem....the book covers more than that so is it worth buying just for NL Holdem Part?

I have already read the first Super System. I started reading SS2 a couple of weeks ago and it seemed to be pretty repetitive of the first book. (I am talking about the NL Holdem Section). Has anyone read both books that can tell me if Super System 2 is worth reading? Or if there is any new important stuff that Doyle added into the book?

I know who Doyle Brunson and I've looked into getting his book... now books, plural, I guess. But what is this "Doyle's Room" you all are referring to?

Alright, finally back to end this for you.
Stud 8, Todd Brunson:
Presented as a list of concepts for play, it gives a good outline of how to play to scoop and how to press advantages. Has a lot of advanced advice for play in special circumstances, and is definitely oriented not to beginners at stud 8 but those needing to step up their play in tough games. Very advanced, requires good opposition for the tactics to work as described. Good stuff for mid-limit and up Stud Hi-Lo players.
The section can be difficult the first read through as the concepts it is divided into are sometimes not properly laid out in logical fashion, but read through it twice and it's a powerful playbook for the game.
Triple Draw Lowball, Daniel Negreanu:
More basic and essential information, it covers some lower-level bases of the game, such as hand selection, emphasizing the alue of discards, some mathematics examples, some drawing examples, and conversion from 2-7 standard format to th... | | Read Entire Entry |

Just so you all know, I've been busy, but I've also finished the book, I will complete my evaluation of it by the end of the week for all of you. No time to write much tonight though, got a poker game to go crush this evening

OK, PLO has some ery helpful information. Great table on hand odds that accounts for redraws, description of how the drawing nature of Omaha actually cuts into implied odds for draws, being able to bluff the river more cheaply by selling the nuts for a smaller bet, how to play with a cap, dealing with paired boards, controlling oneself with aces and little fulls. Again, a ery informal set of starting requirements that helps understand how each hand derives its strength.
The chart taking into account redraws a hand is really useful; at least I've been gambling improperly on some draws and mucking some OK made hands because I only think of the draw making it, not thinking of how the draw can hit and lose or be made to draw dead. For me, that's a highlight of the PLO part of the book, but it depends on your own strengths and weaknesses in understanding the game. Another solid part of a book that I'm definitely gonna get a lot of mileage out of.
Not much more to say, except get it when... | | Read Entire Entry |

cool, been losing money on PLO recently so switched back to limit holdem to get some moola back
if you could inwardly digest that section would be cool
must say I didn't actually know the rules for triple low ball till i went out and read them last night, seems Ultimatebet is the only site with any tables for it anyway

Alright, onto the Omaha 8 section, I guess.
It starts with an introduction to the game, explanation of split games and hand/board reading examples, all basic stuff. It gives solid coverage to the game, covering starting hands on a conceptual (as opposed to a "do this" list) level, followed by treatment of play on each of the subsequent betting rounds using general principles. Not much for people who need to learn the math or want hand-by-hand guides, but the advice is more broadly applicable. Not a starter's O8 text, more intermediate-very advanced. It also has a short bit on how to play better shorthanded O8 which is something that eluded me, at least.
Mentioning the lack of math in the O8 section, this does not have a statistics table section analogous to SS1's comprehensive set of tables for all games. However, now we have Microsoft Excel, statistics tutorials online, and calculators like the cardplayer.com ones, so its absence is understood.
Also, each sect... | | Read Entire Entry |

What a great review, thanks so much for that. It sounds like a really good book to read I'm sure Grumbledook will be buying it as soon as possible.

OK, I got it from Doyle's Room 2 days ago. Games covered: Limit Holdem, Omaha 8, Stud 8, PLO, triple draw, and NL Holdem, plus a bonus general concepts section, and a tournament concept section
Mike Caro's section is all available from his site Poker1. The principles are simplified and restated, but all lifted from his online library of articles. No 5-card draw section this time.
Doyle's NLH section is a grammar and editing fix of his SS1 section. No more random paragraph breaks, bolding and italicization. Then again, if you don't have SS1, this stuff is still ery useful as an approach to the game.
Jennifer Harman's Limit Holdem section is INCREDIBLE. Very worth it, covers a lot of different material from Baldwin's SS1 section and just blew me away with the situations covered and concepts offered. Internalize this stuff, and it will expand your game. Definitely gonna reread this 219483743 times and hope my play matches the quality of the section.
