5 - I was referring to online play. With friends, its way easier to bluff. It's easier to bluff good players than it is bad players. It's easier to bluff 1 or 2 than 4 or 5.
6 - SuperSystem is good, especially since the price keeps dropping (SS2 is in the works). But it is not the first book you want to buy, if you are starting out.

1) It's pratice yes, I'm just not quite sure if I'd qualify it as good. It is better than nothing though for a newbie trying to learn the basics I guess.
5) Yes. Agreed. Not the least bit wrong.
6) Bah, opinion on both parts. As long as you don't follow Super System word for word it can be great because it shows some great examples about what can happen and if you sit down and think about them, your game will improve.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
