Texas Dolly

Reading casino reviews, news and articles, a name somehow emerge while I was looking for my online casinos outstanding gamblers list compilation. A professional poker player. Doyle Brunson.

Born in 1933, Doyle also knows as "Texas Dolly" began his playing poker in his college days. This is his way on supporting himself after having a knee injury. Though Doyle Brunson earned his masters degree in administrative education, he thinks that playing cards would possibly net him instead of working as teacher.

Brunson started from small college poker games into bigger private roadhouse competitions with local outlaws in less-friendly parts of Fort Worth. Then he turned on to bigger stakes in downtown crannies, and soon enough became really good at one-dollar ante. He is with his traveling partners Sailor Roberts and Amarillo Slim. Jointly they lookout each others backs and enhance their strategies and skills in their rooms after nights gambling.

Brunson is among the small group of professional poker players credited for introducing Texas Holdem to Las Vegas in the 60s. He learned it during the in 50's long before it became the famous from a bootlegger at a big game south of Ft. Worth. To say he took to the game is a serious understatement. He supply himself the knowledge of its strategy and formed his technique to make No-Limit Texas Holdem poker into what we know it to be today, advocating gambling as a means and strategy for doing well in the game.

Doyle, with writings of far-famed poker celebs of the 1970s, initially blew the lid off the enigmas behind professional poker, its players, schemes and statistics. Each author penned on one of the kinds of poker: seven-card stud (expert, David 'Chip' Reese), high-low split (David Slanski), draw poker (Mike Caro), and low-ball (Jimmy Hawthorne). Doyle's book was evidently well received by all except professional players who saw it as rallying too many amateurs to enter the arena. As a result, Super System (1978) caused the old games of Texas Holdem and seven card stud to morph in order to stay professionally competing. This was possibly his superior contribution to the game. Super System is often referred to as the poker Bible.

A brilliant writer indeed. Doyle's boo is a collection of articles he wrote for the Gambling Times. The book's 'Forward' is written by Mike Caro, who says, "Brunson is the greatest poker player who ever lived, and this book shows why."

DoylesRoom.com is the only 21st century online tournament poker cardroom supported by Doyle Brunson. It publicizes one of the biggest choices of online poker tournaments and casino games worldwide.

Doyle Brunson believes that all that glitters is gold. Nevertheless, Texas Dolly is not unsighted by his more than five decades of professional poker fame, ten World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Texas Holdem domination and debut into the Poker Hall of Fame (1988).
