About me:




Doyle Brunson
Hi! I'm Doyle Brunson from Doyle's Room , I was born in Longworth, Texas on August 10, 1933. When I was much, much, much younger I was drafted by the NBA's (then, Minneapolis) Lakers. A knee injury ended my dream of becoming a professional athlete, so I had to find a new way to satisfy my competitive instincts. I would soon find it after graduating from college with a Master's Degree in Education. I hung up my basketball uniform and sat down at a poker table. And the rest, as they say -- is history.

I began making the rounds from one poker game to the next playing in illegal games in Exchange Street, Fort Worth, Texas. It was a colorful, but dangerous way to make a living. I continue to play today, but now it's in the biggest poker games in the world: playing $4000/$8000 minimum bets and also at the World Series of Poker. I won the Legends of Poker World Poker Tour event in 2004 (garnering a $1.1 Million prize), and finished fourth in the WPT's first championship event. Early in the morning on July 1, 2005, less than a week after my friend Chan had won his 10th gold bracelet - setting a new record - I tied the record by earning my 10th bracelet at the 2005 WSOP.

People often ask me about my nickname and the poker hands that are attributed to me. My nickname "Texas Dolly" came from the incorrect reading of my name by Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, and it stuck. As for the poker hands named after me: One hand, a Ten and a Two of any suit, bears my name because I won the No Limit Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker two years in a row with them (1976 and 1977), in both cases completing a full house - - in both years, I was the underdog, requiring me to come from behind both times. Another hand known as a "Doyle Brunson," especially in Texas, is the Ace and Queen of any suit because, as I say on page 519 of the Super System, I "never play this hand." Play poker .. at Doyle's Room - the only poker room .. endorsed by me.

“When poker gives you lemons, you gotta make lemonade.” “Feed your courage and your fears will starve to death.” “The best way to get the last word is to apologize.” “Success comes in cans. Failure comes in can’ts.” “The secret of success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.” “Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” “You can’t fly with the eagles if you squawk like a chicken.” “Even a woodpecker owes his success to the fact that he uses his head.” “The future that we expect and plan for, begins today.” “If I had observed all the rules, I would never have gotten anywhere.” “When you retire there is only one great event left in your life and I’m not ready for that yet!” “It often takes more courage to change your opinion than to stick to it.” “Yesterday is the wind at your back.” “In order to see the rainbow, you have to endure the rain.” “To ignore the facts does not change the facts.” “Life is tough. It’s even tougher when you are stupid.” “If you need help, ask God. If you don’t, thank God!” “If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.” “If you are flexible, it’s hard to get bent out of shape.” “Poker players don’t suffer from insanity. We enjoy it!” “Don’t take life too seriously; nobody gets out alive.” “Bravery is being the only one who knows you are afraid.” “I’m trying to become the person my dog thinks I am.” “The jaws of poker are always open to devour mistakes at the table.”
