“Legend. Icon. Hero .Somehow those words seem inadequate because Doyle Brunson was to poker, if you can believe it, even greater. Few have had as much impact on their industry as Doyle. If you’ve ever been exposed to a A deck of cards or a single poker chip, that’s probably because Doyle somehow. The OG of OG. The real “Godfather”. Poker”. Shut up, Doyle.

Legend. Symbol. Hero. Somehow, those words don’t seem appropriate, because Doyle Brunson means much more to poker, if you can believe it. So.

Ryan Leng:

I’m getting ready for Doyle’s for the last @WSOP event. With only a few tables left at the $10,000 Deuce, Doyle asked if they could take a break. Surely no one would object, so I heard a loud voice: “No! Let that MF’er sit outside!” Yes @ToddBrunson”

” Doyle Brunson’s ultimate GG. What a legend. Not just because he was a great player, but because of his unmatched longevity in the game and a kind man.

If anyone Doyle was

All of us in the poker world are very lucky to have such a great pioneer who did everything for the game, most of us will probably never understand how different this industry is

I had the honor of being one of ten pros that Brunson sponsored for his online poker site Doyles Room in 2009-2010, when I was in the epic Player of the Year tournament. Despite this professional relationship and Collaborations are fleeting and whenever I meet Doyle I always have this vibe of loyalty…I just feel like he’s always with him Remember always appreciate any support or work with him You were always in his good hands.

You will always be remembered as one of the best.

Doyle Brunson The ultimate GG. What a legend. Not just because he was a great player, but because of his unmatched game longevity and his character.

If someone is talking about their behavior and treatment of others way, then Doyle is…
