If you're a poker fan then I must warn you this post may be hard to swallow.
As I'm sitting here watching the WSOP replay for the 90th time. I watched as Doyle caught a bad break to get eliminated from the tourney. Doyle's AQ both paired the board while his opponent held pocket Q's and hit his trips on the board. One of the announcers mentioned that Doyle hasn't won a WSOP in 30 years.
Now I can understand that in the past 10 years or so, Holdem, particularly No Limit has steam rolled in popularity. So I won't hold that against him. However, what about the majesty of his name, his legend. The great Doyle was 0 - 20 and hasn't won a WSOP main event title since 1977. In which case he won both Main Event titles with 10 - 2 offsuit. One could make an arguement for luck.
Granted he has 11 WSOP bracelets, but only 2 main event titles.
I'm not trying to dis Doyle, just had a thought and wanted to put it out there to get some feedback.
