Doyle Brunson has been gambling heavily for almost 60 years straight now. In the past few years however, he has cut down on the gambling and traveling and instead tried to take it easy and spend more time with his family.

Hello everybody! When we like something why stop? To see his family so it's a good answer. But what's the point if your family see you unhappy and depressed. " See you soon for a new post lol!
People who have read his books know how much he has suffered to become a poker legend. For me, the best player in Poker History (sorry Stu). He is old now and it's time to relax and have fun of all he has won.
Hope to see him back at tables soon. It's quite normal for a man who's 82 to feel tired sometimes but he's a lion and I'm sure he has so much to learn young players

What about the Sun? The palm trees? Maybe sailing a yacht, whatever, he's got enough money. I never got the "gambling" thing, but I DO understand the "Poker " thing.

Hello everybody! Exactly, poker and gambling it all his life. In addition to single-handedly he embodies almost all part of poker history. And at least two of his children have taken this passion to their account. This will not turn before his death in my opinion. See you soon for new posts lol!

This is too bad, especially coming from a very good poker player and a good man. At least he's one addictive player that actually wins. There's nothing worse then a player who NEEDS the game and who is addictive, but ALWAYS loses ...Kinda like me ....I don't really consider it an addiction though, but more like a hobby lol
I hope he gets better and will live his rest life to the full
THAT would be insane , don't you all think?
