After I earned my MBA in 2004, I ended up in a consulting job with an awful company. I want to take a moment to talk about what he meant to me at the beginning of my career in the poker world. My first WSOP, his last braceletīut you can read about Doyle Brunson’s poker accomplishments anywhere.
His Super/System is probably the most important poker book ever written. Brunson was a fixture in the highest stakes cash games in Las Vegas for half a century, even well into his 80’s, both intimidating and soft-spoken at the same time. Only Phil Hellmuth, with 16, has more total bracelets. “Texas Dolly” played in the very first World Series of Poker in 1970, ultimately winning ten gold bracelets in his career, two of which were for the Main Event.
