Brian Townsend interviews Doyle Brunson
I'm surprised nobody has posted this yet. "Pro On Pro"... pretty cool idea, IMO. Pretty decent interview, but I already knew most of the stuff about Doyle, since he's one of my favorite players. I didn't realize how many times he's gone broke though. 100+... sick.

Re: Brian Townsend interviews Doyle Brunson
This is a great way of interviewing.
It's pretty rare that the interviewer exactly understands what the interviewee is telling (whether it's poker, sports, music or any other special profession), so it's refreshing to see this format and the quality is quite high.

Doyle isnt much for bankroll mgmt principles. [/ QUOTE ]He said he had guaranteed backing if he busted, so not risking a lot in a good highstakes games would just have been very bad financial sense. Especially considering that those games likely were incredibly soft. Taking shots is a huge part of sound financial management in a game like poker were the stakes are so varied, and if you easily can get backed your effective bankroll is far larger than your liquid assets.

Re: Brian Townsend interviews Doyle Brunson
Obv i havent done any reasearch which id have done a night of ahead of time, but going off memory and imagination:
Id have asked for more detail on his views of online poker such as if he plays online for more than low stakes promotion of Doyles Room and if not why not. Id have asked about the huge downswing he had in the big game. I would have probably linked that in to his comment about playing for money and not for ego. Id have asked about how he is reputed to be one of the people who pushed cheating out of poker back in the 60s and in light of any answer he gave on that id lead into the absolute scandal. Id ask where he sees the future of poker going, and what his general views are on the US govs outlawing of online gambling and try and get some kind of linked in quote about he used to gamble illegally when he was a road gambler in his early days. Something about how Todd and Todds sister got into poker (obv Todd further into it) and whether he sees it as a bad thing hence him not teaching them or whether he simply wanted them to choose their own lives and walk their own path.
