Doyle Brunson, wrote in his latest blog post that he have a quite busy schedule this year. This schedule for example includs playing in many big tournaments and doing lots of interviews all around the globe. Then of course, he has his own poker site, blog, family, and lots of other things to take care of.

So, what keeps Doyle Brunson hungry for more achievements and winnings? The answer is very simple - His love for the game of poker.

However, according to his blog, it seems like age is taking out its right as he writes that it might be the last time he's traveling outside USA.

"It looks like the next month or so is going to be pretty packed for me. I'm doing a commercial for the M Casino so I'm not going to have time to go back up to Montana. Then, I leave for Budapest in early September to meet folks and speak at the Budapest Affiliate Conference. After that, I'm off to Nottingham for the English Poker Open and then back to Birmingham for the Caesar's Cup. I then go to London for a televised cash game and right after that the WSOP Europe begins' where I'll be playing in the main event. I'll finally make it back home to Vegas in early October. That's a lot of traveling for an old man and this may be the last time I cross the big pond."; Doyle Brunson says.
