say it aint so doyle- collusion???

Brunson and Reese were ecorted off of table 1 and out of the bellagio this week.

And the Doyle Brunson tournament is so close....I can't help but wonder.....

No rumor. It's confirmed. But what they were escorted out for, that is up for debate. However, I can only assume it would involve collusion in an ultra high stakes game.

That being said, can you imagine anyone in their right mind who would have played with Brunson, Pearson and Preston when they all sat at the same table on the same BR?

Please post any details if you become privy to them.

They were tired and management felt they needed a nap.

Confirmed where and by whom? This is a tremendously unlikely rumor.

Well that settles it. It must be totally true if you say so, regardless of the fact you cite no sources.

Doyle has trouble walking, and has been seen with a crutch or cane. Could it be the floorperson or security guard was helping him out of the room so he doesn't bust his ass?

Don't post this crap unless you can provide a credible source

I'm privy to a number of details, and I know some players that have been around a long time:

Doyle, Sailor Roberts and Amarillo Slim shared a bankroll for several years - this included money for poker, and their sportbetting shops in Texas in the late 1950's. They talked poker and sports betting all the time, and these three guys were three of the 10-15 best hold'em players of all time. Sailor kept the sportsbook going after Slim and Doyle quit making book, and he was busted and sent to prison in the early '60's. When that happened, they no longer shared a bankroll.

Forty years later, there are a lot of players who are jealous of Doyle, and Chip Reese has also been an easy target for small-minded people - after being a very successful player for the past thirty years.

If ever there was a group of unhappy, jealous, small-minded people, believe me, it is Vegas Poker players who are grinding away at small and mid-limits, and just can't believe that some of the best names in poker are actually better players than the rest of us.

FWIW, some very good players at this year's WSOP were telling anybody that would listen how bad/lucky/stupid Greg Raymer-Chris Moneymaker-Robert Varconi were. The fact that none of the complainers had a gold-bracelet or even a final-table finish should tell you something about their ability, and probably about their reliability in the rumor mill they feed with their garbage.

FurtherFWIW, if you read things on 2+2 with any detail, you will also see a lot of posts about TV-star players who are lucky/stupid/morons etc. - I would suggest you always consider the source. I know I even posted a laugh about Dutch Boyd having a "meltdown" at a RAZZ final table - but at least he got there, so my bad.
