Supersystem 1 vs Supersystem 2

[JereLock]

What is the difference? Some say 2 is only an update of the first one. Do they cover separate topics or should everyone read both?

[mrdewhicky]

super system one covers LH, Stud, Draw, Lowball, NLH
super system 2 has new authors and covers LH,Omaha8,PLO,Stud8, 2-7 triple draw, and new expanded NLH
forgive me if i left anything out but both books are great and are a good starting point that is a "here's how" instead of a "here's why" perspective that sklansky and company portray in their books (no disrespect)

Be careful you don't become one of the stereo type "Super System players" in NL. I love the guys that have bought this book and read it only once. What they get out of it is esentially this. Bet to win, bet to win, bet to win. They fail to carefully study this work and realize betting all the time isn't actually what Doyle is reccomending. It's situational leaning towards aggression, this is good. He's not telling players to be crazy bully's. However this is the main theme the average reader seems to garner from this work. I think I've read the NL sections 4 or 5 times, it's been over a year. I'm thinking I need to read them again. I've been too soft lately.

Thank you!
And good advice dave. Something I'll definitely want to keep in mind while reading.

Is there another book I should perhaps pick up at the same time? Ed millers?

Harrington on Holdem I & II. If you play MTT's or SNG's they are the best books ever written bar none. Absolute gold. Even if you don't play tourneys they are still fantastic.

Be carefull with the Harrinton books they are not for your average 1 day event tourney but more so for a bigger event. If you want a good tourney book check out ARNOLD SNYDER'S POKER TOURNAMENT FORMULA

Where would SSHE fall?

[Doc T River]

Super System has a chapter on Razz while SS2 does not. SS2 has a chapter on the WPT while SS does not.

One of the biggest laughs I ever got was when, during a NLHE tournament, one player berated another by saying that was not how you were supposed to play according to Doyle.

SSHE is a limit book. If you're ever going to play low limit hold'em it's a must read

[JereLock]

What's a similar book like SSHE thats for NLHE small stakes cash games?

Also, should I concentrate on either cash or tourneys at first, or would it not be difficult to do both?
