One of my all time top texas holdem players is Doyle Brunson.  The Big Pappa is the Texas in Texas Holdem!!

I dont want to go into great detail about Doyle Brunson and his life, if you want to know more about his poker career then look at his website, it has a comprehensive breakdown of everything the Legend of Poker has done and still does.

All I can say is that he is one of the most well known characters of poker – a true legend of the game.

Watching the 10 time WSOP Champion still compete against the young guns, is a true privilege.  Even though Doyle is 75 years old he still holds his own at the poker table.  In the last episode of season 5 High Stakes Poker he plays against young Dario Minieri from Rome, Italy and Tom “Durrrr” Dwan.  No limit Texas Holdem at its best!!!

Doyle plays a great hand of poker, heads up against Dwan, I won’t spoil it for you…  its true old school poker vs new school.  Afterwards, there is a wry comment of “Poker is fun” from Dwan…
