A Pro Speaks
The land and online casino poker gambling industries would not be what they are
today without the influence of Doyle Brunson, a poker professional who has
helped shape the poker industry as it transitioned from a land based game to the
internet arena. Brunson is highly respected in the internet poker gambling
industry because of his skills are a bit legendary in the industry. Coming out
this week is a complete biography of the land and online casino poker gambler
that will include forwards and comments by other poker pros in the industry
highlighting some of Brunson’s top achievements in the gambling industry.
This new book uncovers a whole new depth to the story behind Brunson that has
really only been hinted at until this point. As The Godfather of Poker, Brunson
started in the land poker gambling industry as a fluke – almost wholly because
of a knee injury that kept Brunson from joining the Minneapolis Lakers for
basketball. The online casino gambling industry certainly would not have been
the same had Brunson not followed in his father’s footsteps and begun really
learning the game of professional poker. Though his father did not have the
luxury of the online casinos at the time to support the family, Brunson’s father
was a skilled enough player that he was able to bring in enough money annually
to pay the bills.
With that example, Brunson made a strong entrance into the online casino and
poker gambling industries and has become a legend since. The book comes out on
November 11, 2009 and fans of Brunson throughout the poker gambling industry and
all over the world will surely enjoy Brunson’s full auto-biography. |
