“Brunson himself believes that because the book has been so influential, it probably cost him more money than he was paid for writing it.”
-Doyle Brunson’s Wikipedia entry, on writing his book Super/System
If you love trading, you’ve probably studied poker in one way or another. Years ago, one of the first things I did to learn about trading was to interview a professional poker player. Poker and trading are birds of the same feather.
That’s why that quote from Doyle Brunson, one of the greatest poker players ever, haunts me. When Brunson wrote his famous book, Super/System, he was probably the best poker player in the world. His completely unique playing style was what made him the best, so he decided to write about it. Huge mistake.
