I just purchased "PL & NL Poker".

How come these books receive nearly no major attention?

Let's keep her that way. IMO, PL & NL Poker is a classic, one of those you read and re-read as you learn to play PL and NL. Teaches what to think about.

I will say Ciaffone is a little tight in the Hold'em chapters compared to Super System. The main reason is that SuperSystem deals with DEEP stacks, whereas Ciaffone addresses the more normal games where people buy in for 75-100 x BB. Contrast Ed Miller's Ultra-tight short stacked NL strategy.
