When the going got tough, the tough didn't get going. Doyle Brunson, the fierce Texas Dolly whose escaped the clutches of death several times throughout his long lifetime, has stood pat for the industry he loves and believes in despite a law that has forced two of Doylesroom.com host poker networks to abandon the U.S. market. When down (not that Doyle was ever completely down), he just got up again and found a new vehicle to ride like some dusty old barn trailer.
Now - thanks to the Cake Poker Network - Doyle has never been stronger - offering a 110 percent bonus, the best Celebrity Bounty Hunter tournaments online today (with players such as Mickey Rourke and Nicky Hilton), and $100,000 guaranteed every Sunday at 5 pm EST.
"Doyle is a real man," exalted Gambling911.com Senior International Correspondent, Jenny Woo. "A trooper - gruff, probably hairy, I doubt he shaves his body hair, and he's packing - in more ways than one I hear."
In fact, Doyle has become the new face of online gambling along with the equally hard-edged Annie Duke, both of whom are making it known that this industry is not made up of "quitters" and "pansies".
"Hee haw! The cowboy hat just drives me nuts!" a giddy Woo climaxed. "Doyle never postures and always says what's on his mind and everyone I know in the industry respects him. Not only is he sexy, masculine and full of hybrid vigor, Doyle is a wise man and his stamina has helped bring respect and integrity to online poker. Those eyes: They simmer and cut through my beating bleeding heart like a dirk."
Brunson is the first player to earn $1 million in poker tournaments and has won ten World Series of Poker bracelets throughout his career, tied with Johnny Chan for second all-time, one behind Phil Hellmuth's eleven. He is also one of only four players to have won the Main Event at the World Series of Poker multiple times, which he did in 1976 and 1977.
So what are some traits of a real man that Jenny loves about Doyle?
"Doyle is focused and doesn't waste his time on stupidities. When a real man makes a promise, he keeps his word. A real man would never desert his true love (poker). He also doesn't try to look like a woman (no offense to Sparky Collins). A real man isn't afraid to hunt down a wild bore as opposed from running away from the raging beast."
Likewise, Doyle does not have to hang around with celebrities to make himself feel important - instead they feel honored to hang around with him. Jenny can understand why.
"I've been with Vin Diesel, I've been with Doyle Brunson. I've had sex with neither," Woo anguished. "It I had to choose between two real men like Vin and Doyle, I'd go with the fine aged win - Doyle Brunson."
