If Super System is the first Poker Book you read, it won't be that good. I had read two others before, so when I read SS, it supplemented the other texts nicely.

I think it was #4 or so for me. Don't get me wrong - it's a great book and everyone should read it. All I was aing is I was a little let down after all the hype surrounding it, and I didn't feel it added THAT much to my game...

all the hype comes from the fact that it was the first really comprehensive poker book; newer authors have learned from doyle's mistakes, and mistakes of other poker authors, so they wrote better books (which are probably your top 1-3)

i am really looking forward to this when it comes out. i think the people that are writing the chapters (chan, negreanu, etc) are the best players in the game, and i hope that they dont pull and punches when they give their advice.

hopefully it comes out sometime in the near future. i had heard that about doylesroom, but hopefully it is just a marketing ploy. you have to get something like 10k point sto get a copy on the site, so it could be a while before everyone there gets a copy.
