A very intelligent and cagey Texan, who does what he does better than anyone before or since.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a nice little book of short anecdotes and advice from the poker master who's seen it all.  Doyle's soft spoken and observant and that's the calm feeling you get while he relates these tales to you - each with a moral and each with a little bit you can take away and improve your own game.
