Doyle is a poker player AND a hustler. Nobody said he was a saint. Just really REALLY good at taking your money.

Re: doyle brunson
 
I'd say the odds of Doyle having shot a man are about 3:1 for. Road gambling back in the day was risky and sometimes guns were involved. Hell, Johnny Moss shot a guy in the ass. If Doyle played 40-80 against some midwestern businessmen, it was probably 1953, back when $80 was a lot of money. Have Doyle and Chip hustled millions of dollars from people over the years in the games they've set up, perhaps even colluding (or more) in the process? Yes, of course. Would the OP be a favorite against Doyle in a HU match, totally on the square? No, not even with Doyle being 117 years old this December.

Regardless of all that, Doyle has done as much as anyone to advance the game of poker. He has profited off of this, to be sure, but so have a lot of the rest of us. In summation:

[] Thread delivers.

you speak like you actually know anything about him. Doyle's rep is, unlike most in the poker world, pretty untarnished. I have no delusions about his sainthood, but I'd bet all of my money (a small bet, unfortunately) that he's a standup kind of guy...

How many family members do you stake? You don't tell them that if they are good enough to play in the ME, they are good enough to satellite in do you? What if she asked Doyle for money to play the lottery or roulette, would he be "not that great a guy" if he refused to stake her?

well first of all people don't call me the godfather of poker, and i don't bet huge amounts of money on sporting events, prop bets, and such. if i did both of those things and my own daughter asked me to play the 1 poker tournament of the year most worth playing in, i'd say yes.

Enjoy your vacation.

This thread is now locked. We don't allow for unsubstntiated accusations that are designed to smear someone and serve no other purpose.

Also, Doyle's reputation for honesty and integrity is quite good.
