Here is a Doyle Brunson fact I bet you did not know...

Prior to becoming a poker pro, Doyle was a talented basketball player in the 1950s at Hardin-Simmons where he starred on the hardwood in college. The future poker legend had a shot at making the NBA but a knee injury derailed those aspirations. Instead, he took on a career path in poker that worked out quite well.

Texas Dolly was a legend. Rest in peace.

A true poker legend. His Super System was one is the first poker books I ever bought. I ran into him at Caesars a decade ago and he was moving around in one of those mobility scooters. I was surprised at how unhealthy he looked back then. But he was still sharp as a tack, playing in the biggest games and still winning.

All I know is that wherever he goes in the afterlife - I want to go there.
