Quote: "I gradually worked my way up from very small games at the colleges to bigger private games. They were held on the north side of Fort Worth. Let me tell you, that area was the toughest place in the world to play poker. Thieves, robbers, and killings were common place up there. That's where I really got my training, you might say. The big money was in the games up on what we called the 'Bloodthirsty Highway' where everybody there was some kind of an outlaw."
Poker fans about Doyle Brunson: "Doyle Brunson is absolutely and unquestionably the king of poker. That man has done more for poker than anybody else. Screw all those who criticize this poker legend."
"I saw Brunson play at a WPT final table, and he was making some really stupid plays like he just couldn't care less. He eventually went all-in with like 6-Q or some crap hand like that even though he wasn't desperately short-stacked. He got called by 2 others with better hands. He just doesn't give a toss anymore, that's the sad truth." "Doyle Brunson has certailny not lost his poker edge. The old guy won his tenth WSOP bracelet this year. That's all the evidence you need of his ability."
