Default Re: Doyle philosophy troublesome

First time poster. I read all the posts and I think one thing Doyle does that is not mentioned by any posters is he plays draws very similar to how he plays the nuts. So many times when he goes over the top of his opponents he has a made hand (set, straight, flush). But he will also play his draws in the same manner and he's not afraid to put all his chips in with either his made hands or his draws. So when he gets all his chips in the middle his opponent has to think to himself if his TPTK is a 2:1 favorite to a draw, or dead to runner runner if he has a set. Also by going all-in with his draws prevents players from bluffing him, a player would have to put him on a pure bluff to bluff him, b/c he knows Doyle is very likely to put all his chips in the middle. Remember Doyle rarely puts his chips in w/o outs. It also doesn't hurt to have some of the best poker instincts in the world.
