Re: Doyle\'s Win More Impressive Than His Two Championships
[ QUOTE ]
So that means every big tournament win now is more impressive then his 2 championships? Sounds like a backhanded compliment to me.

I know DS did not mean to trivialize Doyle's accomplishments because Doyle is by far the most respected player/person in poker...and well deserved. But like stated before 25-30 years ago when Doyle won these events the fields were much much smaller and like DS said most people did not have a lot of tournament experience in hold'em. These days when there are 1000+ people in a tournament to be able to win these takes incredible skill as well as luck. The players these days have seen many many hands thanks to online poker where people can play dozens of tournaments a day and get the valuable experience under their belt. On top of that the man is 70 years old and he overcame such a large and strong field. Impressive indeed. Congratz Doyle.
