Lol, me too, so nostalgic, but for different reasons... I think I have never crushed like I crushed just after reading Super System. I recall playing on Paradise Poker 0.25/0.5 and finishing one night with a $1000+ stack and the day after $900ish. All the table was insulting me in the chat. Wow that was so great... I've never done it again since then.
To answer the OP question, Super System is indeed outdated and too simplistic to work today as it is. But still, I would say that Super System is "the soul of poker". I would still recommend it as a first read for any aspiring poker player because it gives the write mindset to start learning: agression, agression, agression.
No matter how many books I read after this one, I wouldn't be same player I am today if I hadn't read this one first.
