Doyle Brunson was a formidable poker player who made history in this field. It is certainly a very sad day for all professional poker players, because Doyle was a very good man and a teacher for many of them... Rest in peace.

he was the idol of many players and i followed him before 2011 when i was playing in Full Tilt. He had a beautiful game, he spoke elegantly with refinement and caught the audience a lot. He was a poker teacher and many learned from him.

We will all leave this world someday, it is the law of life, but the most important thing is that we have given everything while we live, this player besides being a good person, was a great player, very disciplined and dedicated, that's why he always played in the big stakes for many years.

he was old, but in my opinion he still moved well and took care of his sick wife. Unfortunately, he died and his wife is suffering now, but this is fate and we all have to go through difficult moments in life.

We know the day we are born, but the day we die we do not know, the most important thing is to be a good person, to be an example for many more players, and that this chain continues for many years.

He is a poker legend, he is an old player and we have to respect that, sometimes because of the pride of many new world class players that do not recognize the talent of this player we all have to eat this, but that is not so, this player has been at a great level for many years, and gives us the lesson that everyone with discipline and hard work can be achieved.

I was sad to read the news, he was a great man! 89 years is a very long life, of which 62 years of marriage is a very beautiful thing in itself, plus 50 years in the world of poker. Many people will remember Legend for a long time, he taught many people, wrote books,... he brought a lot to the table in several ways. He was the man who left his mark on the world, may he rest in peace!!
