Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson began his gambling job by taking part in outlawed games held in Exchange Street, Texas together with a friend, Dwayne Hamilton. Down the road the two of them traveled by means of Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma participating in larger games and getting together with other pro gamblers like Sailor Roberts and Amarillo Slim. Dwayne Hamilton departed the team after a while and left the other three who for the following 6 years gambled on pretty much everything. Then they made a journey to Sin City and lost it all. That broke up the alliance although the three remain friends even today. Doyle Brunson resides in Las vegas.
Aside from his success at the game itself, Doyle Brunson’s publication Super/System, was also very successful and is viewed by several as one of the most effective publications on the casino game of poker. The publication was 1st printed in the late seventies and for the very first time the average individual was able to look at the casino game the way a pro player would. A sequel, Super/System 2 was published in 2004. Doyle Brunson isn’t the only writer to these guides except it consists of inputs from quite a few other expert gamblers like Mike Caro, Bobby Baldwin, David Sklansky, Joey Hawthorne, as well as Chip Reese. Besides these 2 publications, Brunson has also penned Poker Wisdom of a Champion, a book that was originally named According to Doyle.
Doyle Brunson is still productive on the world poker scene and in 2003 he claimed his 9th gold bracelet. In 04, he finished fifty-third out of two thousand five hundred gamblers in No Limit Texas Holdem Championship ace spades well ace s winning the Legends of Poker WPT that gained him another 1 million dollars in prize cash. His winnings continued into ‘05 when he earned his 10th WSOP bracelet. In doing so he tied the score with Johnny Chan who had also won the exact same series for the tenth time.
Doyle Brunson’s nickname, "Texas Dolly," is a product of error made by Jimmy Snyder who was anticipated to say, "Texas Doyle" when saying Brunson but read the very first name wrongly. The name got stuck and his friends in the wagering world just call him Dolly.
