Bobby Baldwin: Don Take Your Troubles Out On Your Bankroll

\
Bobby  Doyle Brunson once said about him: “He’s quite a Poker player… no matter what the game is”. It’s true. In 1977 he won the Seven-Card Stud Championship and Deuce-to-Seven Lowball. And this year Bobby played to the last table in NL Holdem. The next year he once again sat at the final table to take the title of the World Champion. He became the youngest winner in the WSOP history. Two years later Stu Ungar took both of these titles.

  Baldwin’s major wins were all from 1977 to 1979. But this is respected by Doyle Brunson. He even wrote a whole section for Doyle’s “Super System”. In fact, at first Brunson didn’t like this guy. Especially the words: “Bobby won all the money again”. But only at first, because Doyle was too curious not to meet him at the table. He thought: “Wait until I get this kid across the table from me… I’ll destroy him”.

  But he didn’t: “I finally settled down and got even in that game but Bobby won all the money again”. After that Brunson claimed Bobby one of the best poker players in the world. Note that it was before 1978…

  In 1982 he chose a career of casino executive. In 1984 he became a president of the Golden Nugget casino. In 3 years he became a head of the Mirage. Then – a president of the Bellagio hotel and casino in 1998, then in sequence: Chief of Financial Officer of Mirage Resorts, the merger of Mirage Resorts and MGM Grand, Chief Executive Officer of the Mirage Resorts subsidary of MGM Mirage.

  WSOP winners and poker players like to write books on their proffession but the author of “Bobby Baldwin’s Winning Poker Secrts” is not Bobby Baldwin himself. It’s Mike Caro. Yes, our favorite Mike. But you will not find there any winning secrets. It’s mostly about Bobby Baldwin and his life. If you’re “The Owl’s” fan than it’s that what you need. As for Baldwin’s winning secrets you can find them in “Super System” and “Tales Out of Tulsa”. Thought the last can be interesting only if you’re novice at poker.

  As I’ve alredy written there is a section in “Super System” by Bobby Baldwin. It’s on Limit Holdem. One thing can be said about Baldwin’s style and it was said by Doyle: “And he’s so superaggressive that I sometimes wonder if he doesn’t get a sore arm from shoving al his checks to the center of the pot so often. Howewer, his aggressivenes belies the fact that he’s one of the most plesant and gracious persons I’ve ever known… a true Souther gentleman”.
