...says Doyle after being asked why he isn't playing the Heads Up game, blaming the internet gaming act.

Sad..

yea there is also a short interview with him at pokernews.com where he spoke about it during the WPT championship today.. he said he'd get over it.

I mean he did take the time to endorse and make Doyles Room and now they cant have it in the U.S. I'd be pissed too.

Doyle.......He's writen the Bible, he's won 10 bracelets (which he must know he'll never hold the record for due to age vs. Helmuth and Chan), he's played at the top for how long?, he just had a site go bust, oh yea, didn't someone mention he's been playing for 50 years. Enough is enough Doyle go play golf and enjoy retirement. I respect what the man has done for poker however, he has his own life.

Life is just one part of poker.

I'd lose some of my enthusiasm if I just took a bath in an online US poker venture I helped finance that went south.

he should be able to walk away from the felt whenever & however he wants to....

if you've ever peeked down at two holecards, you owe Texas Dolly a thank-you
