Re: Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?
[ QUOTE ]
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!

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.
