Doyle Brunson’s Super System2-A Course In Power Poker

I’d been toying with the idea of revising my Super/System for years, but every time I discussed it with friends or fellow professional poker players, I always heard the same response: “Why? Almost all the advice in the book is as powerful today as it was twenty-seven years ago. It doesn’t need a word changed.” Not one to go against the advice of so many good folks, I put it off for a year, then another year, and time kept sliding away like chips slipping off a poker table.

It’s mighty flattering to know that Super/System has stood the test of time. And I’m glad it has, because when I think back about how much time, money, and effort went into creating it, I shudder. I’d let myself get talked into writing and financing the book. I convinced the top five specialists in various poker games to collaborate with me.

None of us could have predicted how devoted to the project we would become. I think we all got a little bit nuts while we were writing the original version. Before long, we were running an informal contest to see who could contribute the most information to help people play better poker. And all of us swore that we’d never give up any of the key secrets that had helped us build our bankrolls, but eventually we found ourselves giving up everything that had taken us years to learn by the seat of our pants.

All those secrets …

If you think that’s crazy, listen to this: I not only let myself get talked into producing the book, I got suckered into forming a whole big company just to publish and promote it. It wasn’t some mom-and-pop operation either—I went the whole nine yards. Rented an office building, bought the very latest computer typesetting equipment, hired a staff of graphic artists, editors, and receptionists, set up a marketing department, and even bought a commercial photo developer—all to publish one book! You might be thinking that nothing like that had ever happened in the history of publishing, and you may be right. Only a bunch of poker players could’ve dreamed up such a thing— sane people would’ve had better sense. And it only took me nigh on to twenty years to cover my investment. But you know what? It was worth it! When I think about the people I chose as my expert collaborators way back in ’77, the list reads like a “Who’s Who of the Most Influential People in the World of Poker.” They were all young men back then, in their late twenties to early thirties—I was the senior statesman at age forty-four. When you pick a group of people that young from among hundreds of outstanding prospects, you’d be lucky to see one or two of them go on to great success. But my team has flourished amazingly and has stood the test of time, just like the book they helped create. You’ll find them all over the pages and often the covers of both poker and mainstream publications and even on TV. So, yes, I’m mighty proud that I trusted my instincts and had the foresight to select them. Almost all of the poker principles in Super/System are still applicable today, and that’s why you’ll find them on these pages, along with analyses of more games and the unveiling of new secrets. When I decided to publish Super/System 2, the task seemed monumental to this seventy-year-old poker player who, after all these years, is still active in his chosen profession. But today’s explosion in the popularity of poker has kept me inspired to push forward with Super/System 2, in which we have adapted our writings to account for the dramatic changes that have taken place in the world of poker over the past few decades. Today’s younger players rising through the ranks, playing alongside old-timers who used decks of cards as baby rattlers when they were still in the crib, are playing a different brand of poker than we played in the old days. And we’re playing new poker games that we didn’t play back them, so I’ve drafted some new people to join my original team of writers.
