Doyle Brunson: My 50 Most Memorable Hands
In over 50 years of playing poker at a level unmatched by many other pro- fessionals, Doyle Brunson has played literally thousands of hands of poker. Now, the winner of 10 WSOP bracelets, has chosen 50 of his most memorable hands and put them all in a book (Cardoza Publishing, $14.95).
The first question that has to be asked is how did the man determine which 50 rated so high. Even though the hands are in no particular order, his uncanny abil- ity to recall even the smallest details is interesting.
This is the sixth book that the Las Vegas native has written, and he even admits that it puts him at a disadvantage because the players around the table know much more about him, than he will ever know about them.
One of his most memorable hands was in 1983 as he attempted to win his third WSOP bracelet. He came close in ’80 and ’82 and entered the fourth day of the ’83 tournament as the chip leader at the final table. Down to three players, Brunson felt confident—not overly so—against two relatively untested players, Rod Peate and Tom McEvoy.
Brunson entered the hand with a jack and nine of diamonds in a raised pot. The flop was a nine of clubs, three and 2 of diamonds. “Red Peate made a small bet at the pot and I thought he was stealing. Even if he did have a legitimate hand, my hand was very strong with the top pair and four diamonds. So I moved in on him. To my dismay, Rod said, “I’ve got the top trips’ and turned over the other two nines. Without a diamond, Brunson finished third. What is most revealing and refreshing about that hand is that he is unafraid to talk openly about a large defeat. And that is only one of 50.
