Super/System, one of the first books about poker strategy, was written and published in 1979 by Doyle Brunson, a professional poker player and multiple winner at the World Series of Poker.

History and title[edit]

How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker was primarily written by Doyle Brunson who, at the time of publication in 1979, had won the main event of the World Series of Poker in 1976 and 1977. The book was one of the first comprehensive books on strategies for various poker games. Many notable poker players and tournament champions contributed sections to the book.

The title of the book was originally How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker. The title is also sometimes written as Super System, without a slash; Doyle Brunson's Super System; or Super/System: A Course in Power Poker.

Contents[edit]

The book begins with a biographical sketch of Doyle Brunson and then quickly discusses general poker strategy. General strategy includes controlling emotion, watching competitors play, reasoning out play, and other similar tips that benefit all forms of poker play.

The sections of the book dedicated to strategy were divided as follows:

• Draw poker written by Mike Caro. Among other things, Caro writes in detail about tells, how to gain information about an opponent's hand based on how they act. He is regarded as an expert on poker psychology and behavior and would later go on to write his own seminal book on tells.
• Seven-card stud written by Chip Reese
• Lowball written by Joey Hawthorne and Doyle Brunson
• Seven-card stud high-low split (with no qualifier for low) by David Sklansky
• Limit Texas hold 'em by Bobby Baldwin
• No-limit Texas hold 'em by Doyle Brunson

Finally, there is a comprehensive list of probability and statistics calculated by Mike Caro. In addition to raw numbers, many scenarios are investigated and common questions are answered.

Influence[edit]

Many of today's top poker players, young and old, swear by Super/System. Although many years have passed since the original publication, it still contains relevant strategies and statistics. Brunson himself believes that because the book has been so influential, it probably cost him more money than he was paid for writing it.

Many of the poker variants are played differently today, and there are many new variants that are not covered in Super/System, so the book has been superseded in some areas.

Doyle Brunson Super System 1

Few players have had a bigger impact on the game of poker than the legend that is Doyle Brunson. Born on August 10 1933 in Fisher County Texas Doyle was an athlete from a very young age. He had dreams of playing in the NBA and was being scouted by the Minneapolis Lakers. Unfortunately a severe leg injury destroyed that dream. However, During his time recovering from the injury he played poker more often and ended up paying for his expenses with his winnings. Although Brunson had obtained his Masters degree and held several professional jobs, he soon realized that playing poker could earn him more than a traditional salary.
Brunson met his future wife Louise in 1959 and health issues would continue to follow him. Louise became pregnant, but later that year, a tumor was discovered in Doyle's neck. When it was operated on, the surgeons found that the cancer had spread. They felt that an operation would prolong his life long enough for him to see the birth of the baby, so they went ahead with it. After the operation, no trace of the cancer could be found.[17]
Brunson has attributed his cure to the prayers of friends of his wife and their correspondence with a self-proclaimed Christian faith healer.[18] And it is interesting to not that, Louise developed a tumor shortly afterwards and, when she went for surgery, her tumor was also found to have disappeared.
Unlike players who can start their careers today in the air-conditioned safety of a casino, Brunson started off by playing in illegal games around Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, playing in bigger games with the likes of Amarillo Slim and Sailor Roberts. The games Brunson played in during this time were usually run by criminals who were often members of organized crime, so rules were not always enforced. Brunson admitted to having a gun pulled on him several times among a few robberies and beatings.
In the 1970s Doyle decided to follow the money to Las Vegas. He was a regular at the WSOP since its very inception. Throughout his career, Doyle claimed as many as 10 WSOP bracelets. While some of these were won during the early years of poker and in events with a small number of entries, Texas Dolly won several events in the 90s and 2000s as well. He won a WPT title for more than a million dollars in 2004. His live tournament winnings exceed six million dollars, but most of Doyle’s time and energy went into cash games.

In 1978 Doyle self-published Super System which many consider to be the “poker bible.” In Super System Doyle revealed some of the strategies and mathematical elements of poker that were known mostly only to the pros at that point. In fact, Doyle gave away so much information he believes it cost him a lot of money. He later released Super System 2 in 2004 which had contributions from many of the other “greats” of the poker game.
during the 2018 World Series of Poker, Doyle announced his retirement, explaining that he wanted to spend more time with his wife and family and focus more on his personal life.
He does still play poker occasionally and if so it is usually in Bobby’s Room, but he has stayed pretty true to his world and dedicates most of his time now to spending with his wife. Although he does maintain a pretty active Twitter feed should you be interested in checking in on him. And if you are ever interested in playing the hand named after the Godfather of poker, it is the ten-deuce which was the hand he won the World Series of Poker with two years in a row.
Doyle is one of the greatest and longest lasting professional poker players or all time.
