Default Re: Your thoughts on Super System

Super System was one of the first poker books I read. At the time I was really into 7 card stud and didnt even play holdem that much. The chapter on 7/stud was good for a basic understanding of the game. As was the limit holdem section. But the problem with SS is the material is really dated, they talk about a totally different blind structure and the games back then were not as aggressive as they are today.
The Ken Warren books are crap. He takes too much of a weak/tight approach to the game. With the "Killer Poker" books Vorhaus has some intresting insights into the game. I read The handbook for winners and that had some cool ideas and his writing style is very entertaining. The Matt Higer book read too much like a high school history book. It had alot of info but it was hard to take it in.

Cant go wrong w/ Sklansky. Just keep reading and re-reading SSHE/HEFAP. These are the best books on the market today on the subject of Hold em, IMO.
