I thought SSII was really good. For whatever complaints there are for the wasted pages, the book was quite large, so even if you removed the Caro section, WPT section, the Brunson life story, and online poker section, there was still a lot of solid content. Of course Brunson is cashing in on his name. He's not a young guy anymore, he can't afford to just let opportunities pass him by. It is good to see someone who was so important to the game reap some of the rewards. Brunson is grabbing his piece of the pie while he is living, I don't blame him.

SSII is one of the only books I own that I look back at regularly, especially the Omaha Eight section. This book has easily paid for itself and all of the poker books I own.
