The face of DoylesRoom.com talks marriage with Wall Street Journal just before Valentine's Day.

Flip through any poker print publication and you're likely to come across a piece on Doyle Brunson. Having played the game for over 50 years, Doyle Brunson is without a doubt poker's biggest living legend and the player who commands the most respect. However, it's not just poker publications that value his iconic stature.

This week, with his wife Louise by his side, Doyle Brunson was featured in the Wall Street Journal's Life & Style section in a piece on happily married couples. Ozzie & Sharon Osbourne and Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter were also interviewed for the article.

Brunson's advice for a long and happy marriage? Keep some things secret. Doyle has won and lost millions over the course of his 50-plus-year career. Not filling his wife in on all of his wins and losses is part of the key to their 47-year marriage, a partnership that has had its fair share of ups and downs, including the loss of a child and being robbed at gunpoint.

In his new book, The Godfather of Poker, Brunson chronicles his lifetime of legendary gambling and life experiences, covering everything from tragedies like the freak injury that ruined his chance to play in the NBA, to major highlights like his 10th WSOP bracelet win, to unbelievable endeavors like trying to literally raise the Titanic.

The book is available at Barnes & Noble and other major book retailers across the country. Online poker players at DoylesRoom.com can also use their Gold Chips to purchase the book at DoylesRoomStore.com.

For the most part, poker players and successful gamblers in general tend to hog the glory.
