Doyle Brunson's Super System?

Question

I am in need of a poker book and am told that Doyle Brunsons' Super System is the bible of poker. He also has a follow up called Super System II. Do I need both of these or number II have everything the first one does + more?

Answer 1

Both of Doyle's books are good.  They are very large though and have several chapters written by other authors.  I think that Dan Harrington's books are just as good.  Be warned that he is super tight...

Answer 2

Just get Super Systems II. The first spends a lot of time on older games that aren't played much anymore. I believe the Hold em sections are the same, and he's added sections on more modern games.

Good luck and have fun.
