He deserves a lot this player, he spent his whole life in this poker world, recently I saw him playing in a televised cash game, despite his advanced age he was always present in some poker tournaments.

It's sad that he's gone, but we all will, sooner or later. It's nice that he was such a good player and was able to show his great game for so long. For sure, he is an example for many, and maybe even a poker champion. Now, various competitions will probably be organized with his name and in his memory. He will always be remembered

I was very old, at that age almost most people die, every year that passes life is shorter, we should know how to enjoy our life, and leave this world with a happiness of having done very well.

his age when he died is an excellent one, because it is difficult to move, to do work around the house, etc... Many people do not reach at this number of years because of their living conditions. Doyle Brunson lived well. We must follow his example...

Doyle Brunson is one of the best known and most influential poker players in the world! He is the oONLY player to have played in all ten World Series of Poker main events, winning them twice!! Brunson's playing style is aggressive and risky, but also flexible and adaptable. He doesn't stick to any one strategy, but is constantly watching his opponents and exploiting their weaknesses. Doyle believes poker is not just about the cards, but also about psychology and mathematics. A personal note to end on: My personal favorite was him in the Pokerstars Big game! Rest in peace!!

you are right because he had an indisputable career in terms of the quality of his poker game. He had great talent, intuition and strategy. It even deserves a statue from my point of view.

Doyle Brunson, a champion poker player who, in a long, lucrative and colorful career with a deck of cards, won 10 World Series of Poker events, including two back-to-back titles, and influenced countless players with his definitive guide to Texas hold ’em and other games, died on Sunday in Las Vegas. He was 89.
His death was confirmed by his daughter-in-law, Anjela Brunson.
On his website, Mr. Brunson was once immodestly described as “the Babe Ruth, the Michael Jordan, and the Arnold Palmer of poker.”

enough comparisons can be made with professional players from other sports because each of them entered history and that will remain for a long time. They had their own special talent.

I hope you've learned something from his advice and applied it to your poker games since reading this. He offered a lot to the world of poker and most players were not disappointed. Maybe only those who have not learned.
