Doyle Brunson, arguably poker’s answer to Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer, was riding high on the professional card player’s circuit when, in 1979, he wrote Super/System, the epic guide to playing the game correctly. It was the first real book to outline a serious poker-playing strategy and it catapulted Brunson into the world-wide poker spotlight. How popular was the book? It is still being carried around today by big time pros, many of whom weren’t even born when it was published. The book actually caused a significant furor when it was released, as many of Brunson’s fellow pros thought he gave away too many of their secrets, thus allowing the rest of the world to gain equal footing in tournaments and high-stakes games. Nonetheless, the poker stories and top-notch strategy sessions make for an unforgettable read, even now, 30 years later.
