About Me
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."
