Interesting thing about the dead is that people are so unwilling to be anything but positive. Over the years I heard murmurs of things that were not positive. Nothing specific I'd share. He came up in a different time. He ran with Amarillo Slim at one point but he was always ready to advertise being a Christian. Yet his "running mate" was charged with molesting his grand-daughter. Sleazy AF.
A lot of rose-tinted glasses looking back.
I am not beginning to suggest Doyle did things that Slim did but I am suggesting he was probably not near the classy guy he portrayed. And regardless he will always be one of the top legends in poker.
thanks for clearing that up hoser.

For the record I like Doyle.
Yes I remember cringing when I read this. Additionally he made some other comment about never seeing statisticians as top poker players (essentially claiming math was overrated). All this being said just about every genius can be caught saying somethign absolutely stupid or having beliefs that align with stupidity in one area.

I imagine it's a combination of tons of DMs/texts/emails which are annoying him, basically asking the same question, and other people bothering his sister Pam, who had her time associating with the poker community in the 2000s.
I'm guessing that these aren't longtime family friends or close associates of Doyle, but rather just poker people who want to make themselves feel good, and he knows it. So he's getting pissed off that there's a big swell of people who want to be "part of" any kind of memorial efforts for his dad. It's the same reason they will have closed or undisclosed funerals for celebrities.
The guy's dad just died, and it probably wasn't expected, so I understand why he's in a foul mood in general.
It's not as outrageous as it can seem on the surface.
When I won my bracelet, I knew I was going to win on the Td7d hand as soon as it was dealt to me (even though my opponent had enough chips to where it wouldn't have happened unless he hit a decent piece of the board). I had this feeling before anything was put on the flop, and before any betting pre. Then I flopped the 7, but there was a king, and I figured he probably had it when he played back at me. I then closed my eyes and envisioned a ten hitting the turn (note not a 7, which would have been better for me), and when I heard the turn being put down, I opened them to see the ten right there.
I can't explain it, but it was like I knew it was going to happen this way, and it would be over after that hand.

Yeah, I guess. Everyone reacts different. I guess my point is if you don't want attention you don't go in front of 20,000 people in a hockey arena, in which 19,985 you don't know and blow a horn about your Dad next to a DJ. You are always going to get attention that way, even if you don't want the attention you created it.
LOL! I didn't start this thread idiot. If you want to find the people that Todd is pissed about look to Two plus Two and Twitter, dumbfuck.
I don't really get what Todd is mad about though. People always express their condolences at someone's death. Doyle was a public figure so you can expect that some people grieve over his death. Think Princess Diana. Did you see all them millions of sad fucks?
I think Todd's reaction may have been a little over the top.
POKER FAG ALERT! FOR BLOW JOB SEE SLOPPY JOE THE TRANNIE HO.
Dolly once said Todd and Sonatine were the only ones here who would've been able to survive/thrive as Texas road gamblers.
