Super System

Postby MrDarling » Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:28 am GMT

Just got my First poker book a few days ago. I got this one as it was the only one I managed to find on Ebay and win a bid.

Just holding the book make me feel like a better player.

Started reading and its a great read. First section Draw Poker. Never played, probably never will. But I read it with interest.
Second section Stud. Cool. Need to get back to it later to totally grasp.

Now I'm in lowball , and I can barely bring my self to skim through it. This book is soo dated. The chances of me ever playing lowball are even smaller then getting 5 Ace's in draw poker :)

When does Holdem section starts.

Any suggestion comments about this book or the next book I should buy?

Thanks

Danny

Danny that would depend on what your wanting to play. Playing mainly SNG's? Cash games? 7 stud? Omaha?

If your playing SNG's then I suggest Harrington volumes 1,2 and 3.
Ring/cash games then go with Slansky so you can learn about all the odds stuff.
7 Stud..I say Slansky again.
Frankly most any book on poker is a good book in my opinion. The main idea is to learn how to make yourself a better poker player over-all. Even garnering one little bit of helpful information from a book makes the book worth reading in my opinion.

You can do a search on this forum for lists of recommended books and everyone's opinions on them.

Super system is not a novel and you won't miss anything if you skip to the hold 'em section.
