 Poker Philosophy 101 January 8, 2007

To the beginner this book may be less than expected/desired. To anyone familiar with the game it is a refreshingly easy-to-read summary of Negreanu's approach to the game.
There are very few numbers, reflecting Daniel's "read the opponent" philosophy. The novice player may be disappointed that he doesn't give a list of starting hands. Instead the author discusses starting hands in terms of position, player types, etc. He does give a brief but adequate discussion of odds, pot odds, and bet selection based on these, but no extensive tables of the things so many poker books emphasize.
Written in short chapters, each touching on a particular topic, he gives his view on topics such as Check Raising, Stealing the Blinds, Playing Suited Connectors, etc. Throughout the book, he directs the reader to the "head game" rather than the numbers game.
I believe anyone can benefit from a quick reading of this book. However, a novice will also need exposure to a more traditional exposition in order to get a firmer grip on the numbers.
I noticed only one error in my first reading. On page 81 in the second paragraph the change should be from 2c to either 2s or 2d if the 50.1% figure is to be correct. Changing to 2h gives 49.3%. This is really a trivial difference, but the purist in me can't refrain from pointing it out.
In summary, the lessons presented in this small volume and the thought processes discussed are what make the difference between winning and losing. If you would like to learn the basic "tricks" that Daniel Negreanu uses this book is an excellent place to start.
Great for Beginers November 24, 2007

This is a nice short, but to the point book, great for beginners. If some one is just starting to play, get them this book, it addresses several rookie mistakes. The material was presented in a very readable format. Looking forward to his new release.
Great Book..now to apply it properly August 17, 2009
Raousha (Brooklyn, New York USA)
Although I didn't finish Supersytem, this book is definitely a great one. For those of us who have been playing for a little while......I have experienced the issues he says NOT to do....it can definitely step up your game....giving different plays for different times...giving insight into what and how to play certain hands in certain situations...it was worth the purchase money
This is the book I intend to re-read before the WSOP May 30, 2007

I was somewhat skeptical about this book after reading some of the reviews on this site. Nevertheless, because Daniel is my favorite player, I wanted to give it a try.
What a great book! It's so . . . Daniel! Informative, entertaining, at times humorous, and so easy-to-read.
One of the problems I have with some poker books is that they get too damn complicated. I mean, seriously, have you checked out Chen's book, The Mathematics of Poker?
Just before I sit down to play at the WSOP, I'm going to rifle through this book one more time to remind myself how Daniel advises to play smart, particularly with those troublesome hands like pocket jacks, small pairs, and suited connectors.
Does the book uncover the super-secret Jedi formula to winning at poker? Of course not. Can this book help make you a better and smarter player? That's my bet.

This book is great for every poker player. I've been playing for years and Daniel still gave insight on things that I had never thought about. I attempted a few techniques he suggested this past weekend at the casino and they worked perfectly.
