Doyle Brunson is a ten-time World Series of Poker Champion, an author of one of the most influential books on the subject of poker ever written, and an entrepreneur. A living legend amongst poker players, Brunson even has a hand named after him: the Texas Dolly (a 2 and 10).
Amongst Brunson’s ten WSOP victories are two back to back world championships. Brunson is highly regarded as the father of the modern poker craze and is one of the people credited with taking poker out of its shady past and into the limelight. His ten WSOP wins is still an unprecedented number of victories including the ones at Bodog.com. With the poker phenomenon still growing, it is more and more unlikely that this record will ever be touched. In 2006, Bluff magazine named Doyle as the #1 most influential poker player in the world.
The book Super System (1979) has long been regarded as one of the Bibles of poker. Within this book, Brunson outlines a specific strategy of how and when to raise, call, bet, and bluff. At around 600 pages, you would think that an ordinary man would have exhausted his poker knowledge. This is simply not the case. Super System 2 was released in 2005 as a follow up and goes into even greater detail.
Brunson has long been a formidable figure at the PokerStars.eu poker table. That’s why it seems fitting for him to have his own online poker room at www.doylesroom.com. This site was begun in 2004 and is host to thousands of poker players from around the world.
