Major Disappointment
I read Doyle brunson's first book, and waited with great anticipation for "Super System 2". WHAT A WASTE! If you read "Super System", and are primarily interested in Hold'Em, there are much better uses of your money. His chapter on "No-Limit" is almost exactly the same as he wrote twenty-seven years ago. It's as if he is telling us he hasn't learned anything, in all that time. It really just appears he didn't have either the time, or energy, to write this book. As someone else pointed out, better use could have been made of Daniel Negreanu. If he had been willing, it would have been enlightening to have him contribute to the "Hold'Em" section to give a fresh perspective.
None of the other chapters were just re-writes of his previous book, so why would he think it was acceptable to just re-print his previous writings? "Hold'Em" is what most people are interested in, and the game has changed since the original book was written. It's sad and disillusioning, that a legend like Doyle Brunson, released a book solely to capture additional profits for the same work, and to promote his own poker site.
