Poker Wisdom of a Champion by Doyle Brunson (Cardoza $14.95)ĭoyle Brunson revolutionized poker publishing with his groundbreaking 1979 classic Super/System: A Course in Power Poker. When Brunson speaks, poker players listen. You can’t count him out until the fall of the last card.” “Through it all, I’ve learned that, in life, a man’s not beaten even though he’s all-in. More than any other game, Poker depends on your understanding your opponent.” That’s the most important lesson you should learn….people…and the strategy you use against them. None of this sunglasses, hoodie, and jumping up from the table like a monkey BS. Pure class and respect for the other players. I like the way he comports himself at the table. I personally like Doyle 'Texas Dolly' Brunson because he's a big ol' Texan with the charm and cowboy hat to boot! His best playing days are behind him - he won the World Series of Poker twice in its early incarnation - but I still like to watch and root for him. However, Brunson's a poker champ from the old school and not listening to his advice would be like turning a deaf ear to Ray Kroc before you set out to start a fast-food restaurant chain.
This is not the best book for a beginner looking to learn how to play or when it's advisable to play certain hands. Vastly more digestible than the massive Doyle Brunson's Super System.
