I think they overstated the importance of SS in that TV interest spot. Brunson is also a little egotistcal, but not as obviously so as Sklansky or Caro. There was some truth when he said all these kids were using his plays on him. Certainly everyone has read the chapter, particularly LAG NLHE players.

I think some of the aggressive play comes from kids who started out playing shoot em up video games. It is also easier to be aggressive multitabling online than live where people stare you down and you have to physically leave the tournament if you bust out.

Still, that chapter was trendously influential and not the most overrated. It is hard to say what is overrated, because the books rated highly by good players are generally good books.
