Doyle Brunson Not Playing In Main Event.

[tval35]

Doyle is a tired old man. He was and is a truly great poker player, but let him go home to his sprawling home in Texas and relax.

Yeah, Our government sure has used the Patriot Act in a way which is run more like a police state than a free country.

that was the the idea from be for the start, and the reason to make it so.

Surprised he isn't playing , but as people are saying he's alot older than most and the main event is a very long session. Plus it's bingo anyway, some random nobody will get lucky and win.

I guess he changed his mind ....

Less than a week ago, Brunson announced he would not play in the Main Event. At the urging of friends like three-time bracelet winner Dewey Tomko, Brunson decided to change course Wednesday evening.

“Do I feel good? No,” Brunson tweeted. “Do I want to play? No. Am I playing my best? No. Am I gonna try my best? Damn right.”

Brunson failed to make it to the dinner break after an opponent’s Ace-Queen out-flopped his pocket 5s. An estimated 30 percent of the field will meet their demise before reaching Day 2.

Fuckin govt is in serious debt, and are too stupid to see the enormous tax revenue they could generated through these poker sites. Control is more importants than the well being of the country and its citizens. Poker doesnt kill people but alcohol and tobacco does,yet they dont ban these items,which are also a burden to the healthcare system fuckin Obama boy so desperatley wants "fix". gov't needs to get its head out of its ass.....

Hmm well at least he admits he's not playing his best probably why he doesn't want to. like everyone is saying about the age. I wouldn't want to drag on playing if I'm not in my prime game anymore or feel I'm gonna ruin my name eh idk. well anyways Doyle was great sad to see he won't be playing.
