I think it is a bad poker book because Brunson is writing on a subject he knows little about(online poker).  Here is a review from Amazon:
         [B]

The Worst Poker Book Currently in Print[/B]

I bought this book because I highly respect Doyle Brunson as a poker player and author (Super System I). Unfortunately this book contains less information about being successful at on-line poker than an Internet Poker for Dummies book would. All of the useful information appears on approximately ten pages which may be helpful to players who are new to Internet play. Mr. Brunson's expertise is clearly in live games and tournaments. He offers little insights into on-line tournament or ring game play.

As a poker player I was very disappointed that the bulk of the book contained the basic rules of poker and instructions on how to download poker software. Many pages discussed Doyle's poker site ([...]) and how great a poker player he is. After spending approximately one hour reading this book, I raced to Barnes and Noble to return it.

This is the worst book on on-line poker and may be the poorest poker guide currently in print. I advise all poker players to avoid buying this book. Super System I and Super System II are much better values, if you are interested in Dolly Brunson's approach to Texas Hold'em. Consider Internet Texas Hold'em by Matthew Hilger for a solid book on playing limit Hold'em on-line.
