When talking about poker, the discussion will never be completed without talking about Doyle Brunson. Known as the godfather of poker, Doyle Brunson is definitely one of the world’s most famous poker players in history. You will recognize him instantly if you have read his superb book on poker playing, “Super System” or also titled “Doyle Brunson’s Super System: A Course in Power Poker”.

Doyle started his poker career in Fort Worth, Texas. As he progresses through the world of poker, he traveled with fellow poker player Dwayne Hamilton across the nation for the single purpose of making money at poker tables. Poker was not a legal game at that time, so pursuing a career as professional poker player was not really Doyle’s choice at the moment. He began his career as one of the most successful poker players in the history of the game when he settled in Vegas.

Doyle Brunson wrote one of the best poker books in history. The Doyle Brunson’s Super System: A Course in Power Poker is definitely a poker book every player should read. Even today’s best poker players and World Series of Poker winners admit to the fact that they are inspired by the book; some even formulated their strategies by using tips and information found on the book.

Doyle Brunson is also the first poker player ever wins $1,000,000, and his 10 World Series of Poker bracelets are definitely worth bowing down to. He had gathered a total amount of over $2,500,000 in WSOP winnings, more than $5,800,000 from all live tournaments until 2009. He may not be the best poker player in the world or the one with the highest amount of tournament earnings for that matter, but he is definitely one of the most respected ones in the world of poker.
