Poker's original 'bible' — the book that gave away the secrets of the world's best players.
All levels by Doyle Brunson with Mike Caro, Chip Reese, Bobby Baldwin and others
What Super System covers
First published in the late 1970s, Super System collected aggressive, winning strategy across multiple games — no-limit hold'em, seven-card stud, draw and high-low — with chapters from a murderer's row of legends. Brunson's no-limit hold'em section in particular reshaped how the game was played.
Key ideas you'll take away
- Aggressive no-limit hold'em from the master himself
- Expert sections on multiple poker variants
- The historical roots of modern strategy
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to understand where modern poker strategy came from.
Our verdict
More historically important than cutting-edge today, but a must-read piece of poker history that still teaches aggression.
