Doyle Brunson's Super System
Written in 1978, this book has been the bible for poker players for nearly 30 years.
The book tells the life story of Doyle and his family and gives details of his way to play stud, pot limit and limit hold'em
The short section on No limit hold'em starts about page 430, and he suggests the way to play pocket aces and kings is to limp in
in early and middle position, but put in a raise in late position.
He says he would prefer to have Ace King as he can make a flush if its suited or a straight, as well as all the pair and trip combinations
It has many comments by well known players of the day.He says don't play if you tired , or have been drinking, or are feeling emotional
The main advise is to watch the other players every move and spot tells.
Please add your thoughts on this book , it is a bit out of date now, but many ideas are still good

Super System 2
Written in 2005, Doyle repeats much of the advise he gave in the first book.
It has many comments from the new players of the last ten years,
but the section on No-Limit poker starts at page 520 and repeats the same 20 pages from his first book
At 35 pounds its a bit dearer than most
Anyone read it completely , please add more details here

This is the book all the players say is a must read.
It covers in depth, poker odds, value bets. implied odds,math calculations, statistics, you name it, its got it
You may prefer to rely on poker instinct, but if you like to study , this is the one

Sky Tour at The Broadway Casino Birmingham
The day at the Broadway started with a search for the car park.Having printed off a multimap street finder,
I thought it would be easy to turn off the ring road and into the Broadway Plaza.
I drove round in a circle twice until I found the right turn, but the underground multi story was right by the plaza and casino.
Having parked, the escalator takes you up to the Casino Entrance. Opposite the casino there is a Dragon Bar, Chinese, serve yourself
and Broadway members get a free meal at midnight every fortnight, next ones 16th November, form a queue.
Having joined on line , they had said" just show your ID when you arrive", but I still had to fill all the forms in again, as usual.
She said "you have to leave your bag here Sir", I told her, I need the bag inside the Casino, and she said "Whats in the bag Sir "
When I told her It was a bag of "Crows" she went quiet and said she would have to call the manager
After a while he appeared and I pulled the Crow, little crow and Mrs.Crow out of the bag
"Never seen one of those in a casino before" they said
After a bit more caawwing they agreed to let me in.
The match had already started, and I headed for the card room.
About 9 players had not arrived , so they had their cards dealt out at the table and the blinds put in.they did not have a reserve list.
So on one table there were 2 empty seats, that seemed to make it easy for the others on that table.
Norman Pace was an early casualty and he started a play the presenter sit n go.
As I was not in the main tourny,I got my name on the list and we soon sat down to play a ten seater 10 pound plus 1 freezeout
Played another with Tim Peters on the table and sat next to Karlluke a nice lady called Tina.
Later we watched a sitngo with most of the Sky team, and when they started another Tina and Crow join too
There was me ,Tina, flea, and 2 others, against Tim Peters, Norman Pace,Michelle Orpe,Richard Orford,and another sky guy
I came 4th, and the heads up was between Norman and Richard who had played v well in the main match, lasting over 3 hours.
Tikay had no time to play any poker as he was the anchor for the night, and never had a minute following the main event.
Norman did a few links outside the Casino, and Tim did some player interviews, but Tikay seemed to be running the show on his own.

Ok well done to Peter Eastgate for winning the WSOP
- A 22-year-old Danish poker professional won the World Series of Poker early Tuesday, turning a wheel straight on the last hand to become the youngest champion in the history of the no-limit Texas Hold ’em main event.
Peter Eastgate hit an ace-to-five straight on the turn and instantly called an all-in bet from Ivan Demidov on the river to win the title and $9,152,416. Demidov held two pair, twos and fours.

Crow goes shopping in
Stevenage
The old high Street in Stevenage is too narrow for cars , so an extra road was built for modern cars.
The Old pub , now thinks it is a bank, but it still looks like a pub from the outside.
Inside it has low timbered ceilings and small rooms, and still looks like a pub.
The cash machine spoils the old world look of the street, but the sign writer forgot to finish his pavement warning,
leaving visitors puzzled as to what "Cash machine's are....for ?"
