Doyle Brunson is a poker legend -- as the game's popularity soared in the late 1990's, and as college players ditched class to play Texas Hold 'Em online, Brunson remained (and still remains) one of the greatest current players.While Brunson didn't win the World Series of Poker this year, he did release a new book, The Godfather of Poker, in which he details his life story as a poker player. It's an amazing tale -- you can read about it and purchase it on Amazon here -- and absolutely worth a read. But even more awesome? FanHouse had the privilege of speaking with Doyle earlier this week.
In the interview, I talk with Doyle about being a gambler for life, his missed NBA career (seriously), what it's like being an author now, how the game has changed, and how the government stifled poker's ability to continue growing. Enjoy, because I did.
