Doyle's grand opening is within a few weeks.
All players who sign up will receive a book. I think Doyle will say you have to accumulate x-amount of points. This means at least a deposit of somekind. I already have 2100 AP's (Action Points) and got this in low limits in three nights of play. I think Doyle posted a date on
Rx when the book would be out for his players.
THE ANSWER TO "The Dolly Quiz"
This is not EXACTLY how it came down. This is how I have heard it over the years. But it basically happened like this;
There was a roast or a dinner of some kind or a WSOP gathering, in which Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder was invited and/or in attendance in which he recieved a copy of either Doyle's book Super System I
(originally titled; How I Won a Million Dollars Playing Poker), or, it may have been his other book "According to Doyle", also a must read.
When accepting the book he said either on a microphone or out loud, as he looked at the book, and then looked at
Doyle, "Er, thank-you..ah (mispronounced)
'Dolly'. The place wents nuts with laughter.
For the longest time all the players and Doyle's friends refered to HIM as DOLLY..as it was printed in articles by reporters who also interpreted it as Dolly.
I think Doyle added "Texas" to it or it was changed to from
Texas Doyle.
Maybe someone can clean this version of that legendary night up. But that is how I was told it occured. Seems I read an interview by Nolan Dalla a while back, but it doesn't mention how Jimmy spit out the name that will live forever, which is the bottline on how he got the nickname. Because of Jimmy
The Greek Snyder
Keep forgetting to ask Mr. Brunson. Hope this is at least 'ballpark' as to how it came about.

ps. it may have not been Super/System 1, if it was, then Jimmy wrote the Foward to a later edition. The edition I purchased at Gamblers Book Club in 1984 has the Foward(maybe the Introduction) written by Jimmy "the greek' Snyder
