Why is Doyle Brunson considered to be so good?

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.

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. =/

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.

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.

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.

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).
