    I’ve heard Todd Brunson hasn’t been sleeping well since he found out about this.

    For a few people, it's showing Brunson as #1.

    But for most, I'm #1.

    To answer Sloppy, the first time I googled "todd poker" was about 3 days ago. Never thought to do it before. I was just sitting there and wondered, "If someone knew my name was Todd and played poker, and googled that, what would they find out?"

    I was shocked to see that I was both #1 and #2 (one Twitter, one Wikipedia) for that.

    Of course I figured Brunson would be ahead of me.

    The fact is that there's not many known Todds in poker. There's Brunson, me, Todd Terry (RIP), and Todd Bui (LA player who won a bracelet). That's pretty much it. I don't count Eugene Todd bro, nor do I count Jared Todd Jaffee.

    There is a reason there aren't many known Todds in poker.

    The name rocketed to popularity in the early 1960s, peaked in the late 60s, and then started a steady decline in popularity.

    When I was born in 1972, it was the 31st most popular baby boy name in the US. By 1992, there were 1/7th as many boys being named Todd compared to when I was born, and it was the 217th most popular. In 2018, the last year I have data, only 156 babies were named Todd in the US -- the lowest since 1942, and the 1201st in popularity.

    This means that the vast majority of Todds you'll meet were born between 1960 and 1980. In poker, this means you'll find relatively few Todds under 40 or over 65. The young guys who came up during the 2000s poker boom were born after 1980, so they weren't named Todd. Most of the prominent players today were born after 1980, and the ones born before 1980 just didn't have a lot of Todds who succeeded in the game enough to become notable.

    At the moment, Todd is one of the most reliable names to indicate someone is middle-aged.

    So not only am I the current #1 google result for "todd poker", I am likely to remain #1 or #2 forever, unless the name somehow revives.

    This routine about Todd is a great example. A glimpse into another era and it’s funny. Imagine Carlin was alive today as young parents toss Scrabble tiles in the air when inventing their children’s names.

    Good post

    Last night I sent Dan Todd a DM offering to connect him to a “Behavioral Check In Call” I had scheduled with Tyde

    Despite actively posting on his from, Todd Dan ignored me

    A radio listener asked this of Chat GPT:

    who is the #1 Todd in poker

    ChatGPT
    The question of who is the "#1 Todd in poker" can have different answers based on criteria such as career winnings, influence, or specific achievements. However, among poker players named Todd, Todd Brunson is a prominent figure. He is the son of poker legend Doyle Brunson and has made a significant impact on the poker world himself. Todd Brunson's net worth is valued at around $3+ million, with about half of this coming from his World Series of Poker (WSOP) winnings. Some of his top achievements include first-place finishes at the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament in both its second and third seasons, as well as a victory in the 2005 36th Annual WSOP.

    While there are other notable poker players named Todd, such as Todd Witteles and Todd Terry (the latter having passed away), Todd Brunson's achievements and lineage arguably place him among the top "Todds" in the poker world.

    ===========


    While I am happy ChatGPT mentioned me, it's pretty insulting that Brunson's 2005 WSOP was praised, while mine (which was better than his) was ignored. Sad!
