There's not a lot that Doyle Brunson hasn't lived through, and 'Texas Dolly' as he's known is one of a number of poker players voicing their concerns about the Coronavirus on social media.
Twitter explains solvers to Doyle Brunson. Published by: Jon Pill Posted on. Doyle Brunson retired from poker in 2018. And at 87-years-old, one can't. The latest tweets from @ToddBrunson.
The octogenarian admitted that he was in self-quarantine mode so as to not infect his wife Louise. He added that despite being robbed at gun point five times, been stabbed, beaten cancer three times and survived three car wrecks, 'the Corona can't touch me.'
That looks like a 1st edition. Pretty expensive.I'm in a self quarantine mode. The Corona can't touch me, I've been… https://t.co/o6bacQn6ZB

Meanwhile, Ronnie Bardah has been spreading the word about the dangers of shaking hands in the current climate, going on a Las Vegas television station teaching new greetings to reporters.

Although figuring out how you're going to greet someone is a moot point when you're stuck on an airplane. That's exactly what happened to reigning WSOP APAC Main Event champion Scott Davies, who endured a more than six-hour plane ride with 'nearly every single person sitting around [him] having a bad cough.'
Just finished a 6.5 hour flight with nearly every single person sitting around me having a bad cough. Wtf people i… https://t.co/7Q1T3ALGq6

Mike Matusow announced that he would be writing a new book whilst self-isolating, Sasha Liu praised Taiwan and its response to the outbreak while Kitty Kuo is hitting the gym whilst also self-isolating.
Tough decision, booked my flight to Taiwan on Monday but I live in Vegas for 8 years and all my best friends here.… https://t.co/qH0BXM2ndt
— kitty kuo thomas (@kittykuopoker)It's amazing how the U.S. Presidential Race can get tempers flaring. Such was the case recently as Doyle Brunson got into a Twitter spat with Vanessa Selbst over Hillary Clinton, which eventually drew Liv Boeree into the argument.
Brunson, an ardent Republican and Donald Trump supporter, tweeted a comment about how many times Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has lied during her campaign.
'I'll bet a lot of money I can name (and prove) twice that many lies Hillary has said. Maybe 10 times?' he tweeted.
This incensed Selbst and sparked the following comment.
'@TexDolly You're just like the rest of the ignorant masses. Recycling talking points, making assertions, avoiding actual facts and logic.'
This prompted Brunson to not only ask Selbst to unfollow him, but also bash her for allegedly not paying Jason Somerville back on a poker debt.

'@VanessaSelbst Don't know if you follow me but if you do, please unfollow me. You showed me your character when u welshed on Jason.#triedto'
'@TexDolly I haven't followed you for a long time. And yeah, paying 100k = welching. I doubt u want to start a debate about ethics in poker.'
Boeree, who is Selbst's friend, was quick to jump into this debate with the following comments:

'@TexDolly @Erik_Seidel Doyle, you are missing the point. Those were clear proven lies said by trump in just ONE DAY. Not over a lifetime.'
'@TexDolly @Erik_Seidel yup, thats fucking despicable. how hypocritical of you to shit on Vanessa about ethics.'

Eventually the trio stopped arguing on Twitter, but it's clear that this will be another chapter added to the biggest poker feuds.
Perhaps none will ever top the feud that Daniel Negreanu had with Annie Duke. But it's unlikely that Brunson will share hugs with Selbst and Boeree next time he sees them in a poker room.
