High stakes cash games in Bobby's Room at Bellagio are over for the time being, and it's back to normal for Doyle Brunson like all the others. "When I played poker every day for seven straight weeks, I felt strong as a lion. Now after 3 days of not playing, I feel like a truck just ran over me," he says in his blog.

Doyle thinks that maybe this is a sign that poker players are like action junkies. "Maybe we are addicted and we actually have withdrawal symptoms when we have no action," he says.

One reason why he feels so tired may be the fact that he lost almost 2 million dollars in the last three big hands that he played. This means that after seven weeks he finished almost exactly even and had nothing to show for his hard work. However, he adds, "If you can’t handle the ups & downs, you better not get into the poker business." So simple as that.

In his entry Doyle also talks about his picks for Poker Hall of Fame (one is probably going to be Mike Sexton, the other may not be Phil Ivey...); problems with his new Cadillac Escalade; and a funny story about old gambler and dope dealer Jimmy Chagra and Jennifer Harman, read all about it here.
