The rumor mill on 2P2 is suggesting that Todd Brunson has gone belly up. Yes, according to several posts on the thread Brunson got heavily involved in the development of real estate on the strip and ultimately the project got canned due to a lack of funds. Talk about bad timing. They are saying that Todd has invested millions into this project in hopes of making a small fortune.

My hope is that he didn’t take every dime he had and invest it into this venture. It’s more likely that Brunson lost a substantial amount of money but I am not so sure he is broke. If he is in tough shape he can always get staked or sell pieces of his action even in this economy. I am not sure if he is a big video poker player or how much he plays online at Doyles Room or what kind of profit he makes.

I figure stepping away from the game for a while might not be a bad thing for him to do. Who knows? Hopefully things come together for Todd Brunson. He is a proven cash game player and beats the high stakes games regularly. With this economy he will need to call on every bit of his skill, strategy and experience to grind it out at the tables with bankrolls being tighter.

Scary stuff!
