Yes, Supersystem is overrated, people say how great it is because they think they are supposed to and if they don't, they will be labeled a fish and told they have no idea. SSHE is not overrated- not at all. IMO it is the best limit book ever written.

OK, people, Supersystem - that's just one [two] book. How about other titles you consider bad or overrated?

I guess for a book to be over-rated, it has to be rated in the first place. Perhaps this excludes NLHTAP as I don't think its well recognised in the first place. Not a bad book, but certianly doesn't live up to expectations.

Another that comes to mind in Psycology of Poker, can't remember much about it, it probally isn't a bad book either, but no where near lived up to expectations.

Like I said before, Mike Caro's Book of Tells comes to mind too, not a bad book at all, but no where near as good as many would have you believe.

I agree that Supersystem is very over-rated. Ace on the River sucks as well but i don't know if anyone rates that at all.

This is very funny.

Actually, there are thousands of the 21 year old hot shot punkies who don't know how to play anything except 1-2NL. They wonder; what are those people doing at those other tables. I guess the games that "no one cares about" are Limit Holdem, Omaha/8, Stud/8, PLO and TDL.
