Annette Obrestad and Doyle Brunson had an interesting little spat recently.  It all started with Annette talking in a magazine article that she would much rather play against Doyle rather than an internet pro, implying (if not exactly directly saying) that the 10 time bracelet winner was a has-been and a softer player.   When Mr Brunson caught ear of this he was less than impressed shall we say and suggested it must have been Annette’s time of the month and that she was welcome to come along to Bobby’s Room any time, he was there every day.   Naturally Annette didnt take up the challenge as she would have been severely outmatched, not only in terms of cash game ability, but in terms of bankroll too.  

Actually it is suprising for Annette to see Doyle as anything other than an extremely tough opponent considering the 3 times they have met heads-up Doyle has won every time.

Of course the comments got a bit played up in the media, and I am sure Annette does have respect for Doyle’s accomplishments and game, but you cant help but secretly hope she’s pops into Bobby’s Room some day soon.   Doyle, ever the gentlemen, was quick to apologise about the time of the month comments even when they were merely responsive to the implied slur on his game.
