A poker genius. People like Doyle Brunson are the ones who motivate people to believe that dreams are possible to be fulfilled.

Quick Doyle Brunson story.
A friend of mine's son, who I have played poker with, was playing a WSOP tournament game about 5 or 6 years ago. He was at a table with Texas Dollie and ended up heads up with TD.

He shoved on the river and was called by Mr. Brunson, who had the winning hand knocking my friends son out.

This was at a "feature" table, so it was being televised. He stood up, dropped an F bomb, and stormed off.

His father, stopped him as he walked away and told him,
You don't disrespect Doyle Brunson get back there and show him the respect he deserves. His son walked back to the table to shake his hand and congratulate Doyle on a Nice hand.

RESPECT!!!!!
:congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats:

It is impossible brother to talk about poker, without talking about Doyle Brunson.
For me he is the best poker player of all time.
Thanks for bringing it to a post on CC.
The most important phrase I read in one of his books was when he told an anecdote of millionaire cash tables in which he played, and he said "there were players that I could beat without looking at my cards."
It is not a superb phrase, but rather a phrase in which he expresses how poker should be played.
A family man, an example of education for all.
Too bad there aren't many who have learned from him.
Those who did, highly benefited.
Regards brother and thanks again:giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle:

Doyle is an absolute legend!! It is impossible to not like him. He might not be "the best of all time" (if that can be evaluated somehow), but certainly he is a strong candidate to the greatest of all time, for all that he represents. Of course, at his side there are many others great players, but how many of these first players still hold their position in the greatest tournaments in the world?
Again, that's why poker is great! A 88 years old man still battling with the young generation. That's amazing to see.

Godfather of poker Doyle Brunson, two-time world poker champion, dies at 89. No details are known about the cause of his death, which had a great influence on many generations of players.
Brunson won 10 world series of poker (WSP) tournaments and was a two-time main event world champion, in 1976 and 1977.
Originally from the town of Longworth, Texas, he wore a handsome cowboy hat. I especially liked his hat because where I belong this type of clothing is admired, I am a llanero from Venezuela and we see ourselves like our famous Venezuelan llanera music singer Reinaldo Armas:

He wrote one of his first books on poker strategy, Super System, considered a bible of this game. Daniel Negreanu called him a "legend". And he tweeted: "There will never be another Doyle Brunson. He will be missed by many."

He said for his part that "they cannot believe that this day has come". "You will always be high in our hearts, the man, myth, legend and godfather of poker!" Nguyen tweeted.

The truth is that nobody is eternal, but the legacy that Doyle Brunson left, mattered forever, since we will remember him with his famous and favorite 10-2 poker hand.

I feel very privileged to have his two books, Super System and Super System 2.
