In his prime, Brunson was regarded as the best big stack live game no-limit holdem player in the world. In that game, you can use personal charisma to create rushes by making 'em fold fold fold fold fold, trap 'em, then make them fold fold fold and fold some more until they give up. It is very difficult to accomplish this if you didn't have heart, if you didn't have very high acuity in "feeling" player weakness, and didn't believe in rushes - at least, the psychological momentum kind.
