Here's a brief bio on my poker reading:

I started with Winner's Guide to Texas Holdem by Warren. Then I bought Super System II and read it. I didn't like Brunson's style. It seemed wacky.

Then I picked up Killer Online Poker (terrible book, don't waste your money). Then read Internet Texas Holdem by Hilger (liked it, but it was still a little lacking in clarity for me).

Then I went to Sklansky. I started with Holdem for Advanced players, and then read Small Stakes Holdem (this is backwards, I know). Sklansky's books, as most here can testify, are great, and they greatly improved my game.

Recently I picked Super System II back up and started rereading the NL holdem by Brunson. Strangly, now that I've read Sklansky, Super System makes more sense. I'm starting to get what Brunson was getting at. It's as though I needed Sklansky first to understand the fundamentals of poker in order to provide the context in which to understand Super System.

What is everone else's opinion of Super System. Is it helpful, or do you avoid it?
