RIP Doyle Brunson (2 Viewers)

[bergs]

I watched him almost run someone over outside the poker room at the Bellagio a few years ago. For that reason alone I liked him.

Doyle, Stuey, and Chip are going to clean up at the 100/200 in the Pearly Gates backroom.

Man..... I'm really sad to hear this. He's my hands down favorite player ever.

 

[Old State]

Very odd there was a whole discussion about him last night at a card game I was at. RIP

 

[VMR911]

The man. The myth. The legend.
Rest well Texas Dolly.

 

[Machine]

The trail blazer, what / where would poker be without him?

 

[shadowler]

RIP -- met him 2 months ago and took this photo at the Horseshoe in LV .. Super Systems was the first poker book I read

 

[Hotus777]

So sad to see him go, recently saw a stream with him and wish I had the opportunity to play one hand with this legend, may he rest in paradise!

 

[Freudeus]

Ah, that's really sad news. He really was one of a kind, a true legend.

 

[BonScot]

He certainly ran good and his legend will live on…

 

[Pinball]

Sad news...

I love reading his books "According to Doyle" and "My 50 Most Memorable Hands".

 

[MeridianFC]

Take it light on the other side Texas Dolly.

 

[Fran]

A legend is gone…

 

[TheBigTater]

Sad news but all in all a life well lived.

RIP Mr Brunson, truly a class act. You taught us all how to play better in so many ways, we salute you!

Damn

I enjoyed this book, might be time to read it again. Not really a poker strategy book, just a fun read.

 

[CDC]

Sad.. RIP..

 

[gmunny]

dang.. missed the news last night. RIP to my favorite poker player... GOAT

 

[DoubleEagle]

We lost a great one. A true gentleman and poker player's poker player. RIP.

 

[upNdown]

I feel like we got a lot of good, extra bonus years out of Doyle. I'm grateful for that.
And I'm so sad that he's gone.
It reminds me of a line of poetry written after we lost Babe Ruth:

The Big Guy’s left us with the night to face
And there is no one who can take his place.

 

[Pippa]

He will stay with me forever

 

[Highli99]

Sad to hear this. I’m grateful to Doyle for playing a big part in making poker what it is today. He led a storied life to be sure and stayed relevant for an incredibly long time.

His books are all excellent reads too.

RIP.

Agreed, easy recommend for enjoyment as well as some more 'mental' guidance than strategy

RIP Mr. Doyle. I shall play a T2o hand in his honour.

RIP Mr. Doyle. I shall play a T2o hand in his honour.

I felt compelled to 3-bet this pre last night in his honor. Continued on the flop, and was called. I was going to give up, but the turn was favorable.

He was always a gentleman. Pure class. RIP, Mr. Brunson.

Tonight for our weekly game the 7/2 payout prop will be a 10/2 payout prop.

RIP poker legend

 

[Lee4711]

Rest in peace to a legend and true gentleman

 

[toothpic]

RIP, legend! We should all be as fortunate as him to be able to play poker to such an age.

RIP Mr. Doyle. I shall play a T2o hand in his honour.

Ironically I was playing a NLHE tourney last night on Club875 and watched someone make a straight flush with 102o for a big pot against the Q high flush.

LOL. His ghost must be manipulating the RNG.
