now Doyle Brunson issues challenge to the poker world - Page 3 - Poker News

Ok, if he shortstacks and takes advantage of that when the others play real poker. But that would be lame as hell, and I seriously doubt that's what Doyle's talking about. So yes, he would need to be at least like top 3 in the world to make money in that game.

he said go and find the 7-8 best players in the world. That's 7-8 players that are better than him, but he could still find a way to win.

Doyle is the greatest

That's correct, but you said he thought he was the best which isn't true

"First, I want to say I’m not interested in playing Patrik because he is a weak player. On the contrary, I think he is a great player and I make him and Daniel Negreanu the favorites over anyone to still be playing 30 years from now. "

What? This part does not make sense.

Are you serious? It's still ridiculous if Doyle thinks he would have an edge (meaning that he thinks he's about top3 in the world in NLHE 6max or FR).

I am pretty sure I heard him or Dewey talk about playing "Doyle Sez" before, he can name games for hours that aren't the normal HOS games.

Make it a fair game IMO.
Play "Doyle Sez" for an hour, then switch to "Patrick Sez" for an hour, with whoever is picking paying back 1/2 losses.

I officially offer the same challenge to anyone in the world. (Warning, I might pick magic, or a 200 meter dash, or a megaman 9 speed running competition).

i dont get a how a challenge can say- i can change games when i want. i figured a challenge give odds, or let the other player change games. usually the one issueing the challenge thinks he is so much better that he would give benefits to play him, rather than himself gettin them. kinda a weak challenge imo

Imo, in a live heads-up match, Moss would destroy any number of online pros despite obvious technical inferiority. He just wouldn't do it honestly.

Now tell me how he's going to cheat in a headsup match, probably with people watching the game.

Also, I don't think it's very respecting to imply one of the legends of the game was a cheater unless you have evidence to back it up.
