Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

He won 2 Main Events and has around 10 bracelets but there was only about 10 people back then. In the main event he just calls every bet when he is dominated. I think the new generation of poker players is going to dominate his passive playing style. He is just way too passive to keep up with aggression of the newer players. I am watching the main event now and it is sad to watch, he is nothing but a calling station. He may be the most over-rated player ever!

I have only played in one but I at least have a shot to win a main event. Doyle is pretty much just giving his money away in these things. He would get run over if he was at the same table with me or other online players.

Ever see him play HSP?

lol

read doyles chapter in super system - he invented aggression

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

I suppose you have only seen the WSOP ME 07 episode with him on the feature table and surely it wasn't a good performance by him. However look around and you will find much better stuff from him, you can't judge a player by a couple of televised hands.

I'm sure he'll play with you if you ask him. Then take all his mobney.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

He won is 10th Bracelte in 2005 and his 9th in 2003. Open your eyes guys. Thats the proof that he is defnitily out of the game for a loooooooooong looooooooooong time. Totaly overratet!!!!111

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

I agree with Doyle being extremely overrated - I dunno why everyone slobbers his knob

I mean, Helen Keller could win a 10 person SnG i.e. the main event way back when

Brilliant laydown. Although it probably had more to do with his knowledge of Chip than anything else.

I wonder if he put Chip on AA/KK or a set ... ?

Why is Jimi Hendrix considered to be so good? There are hundreds of guitarist who can play better than him and not say "Blah Blah Woof Woof". I bet Ralph Machio would blow him away if they met at the Crossroads.

PA: How could you make that call?
Doyle: How could I make that call? How could you make that bet? We're playing poker, not solitaire.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

I called an all in, in a home game recently with pocket 4's while my friend was itching to show a 2 7 bluff when we were HU with even stacks. Doyle looks like a genius, I lose 40 bucks to a 7 on the flop. =/

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

that just proves my point. He knows he's not as good as Antonio so he just call to gamble. Anyone can get lucky once or twice and win a tournament.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

True. Doyle was only a 68% fav when he got his money in. Even Brandi does better than that.

Plus, Doyle sucks at chip tricks.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

I think winning a 10 person WSOP - a deep-stacked STT with the 10 toughest players in the world - would be a helluva lot harder than winning the WSOP today.

You'd honestly tip Moneymaker or Gold to have an edge over that field?

Dream on.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

Who the [censored] cares about how many people were in the main events that he won? Hes been killing the big game for decades, and every top pro puts him on the short list for best player in the world (right now).

Nothing personal, but that may be the most idiotic thing I've ever read on this forum. In response to him being overrated, I'd like to see you or any top internet player play him for big money when he was in his prime (hes 70 something now and top players still consider him one of the best today). In response to the main event, he's just playing a style where he doesn't want to risk a lot of chips against bad players. Obviously you havn't watched HSP or you wouldn't have that opinion. It's one broadcast with around 10 hands he was in. It doesn't show a lot. These posts just crack me up more and more everytime I read them.

im sorry if my quoting your post gave the impression i was talking about you. i was talking about the guy that you quoted.

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

LOL - OK, not *harder* (as in less likely), but a much tougher test of poker skill. Duh. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

Jamie Gold seems like a good guy but terrible poker player. i think he DID think himself the hotshot after winning the ME but I think he realised afterwards of playing cashgames etc. that he is a bad player.

Doyle is obviously has the best poker feel among all, I double he knows as much math as people at 2p2 but he will figure some way to take your money. I've met people like doyle (old-time hustlers) on live casinos and they always seem to get the best of you. you gotta admire that

Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
 

Obv he learned from Card Runners - something the OP did not. The OP should be ASHAMED of himself!
