In 1978 Bobby Baldwin became the youngest player ever to win the World Series Of Poker main event. That record was broken two years later by "The Kid", Stu Ungar, but before the Kid there was "the Owl", and Bobby Baldwin quickly established himself as one of the great poker players. He did it with a super-aggressive style that stunned other players, even super-aggressive players such as Doyle Brunson.
Brunson once remarked that he was shocked Bobby Baldwin didn't sustain an arm injury from his habit of pushing chips into the pot so often. Brunson knew that the young man from the South could play a little poker, however. After Bobby won his third WSOP title - he also snared two bracelets in the 1977 World Series Of Poker - Bruson enlisted his aid for the original Super/System. Baldwin wrote the section on limit hold'em, a game at which he excelled.
That same year he abandoned the world of professional poker to become a casino executive in Las Vegas. Bobby Baldwin then showed that he would succeed at pretty much whatever he put his mind to, and today he is the CEO of the Mirage Corporation! He's also the president of the Bellagio, yet he still found time to oversee the chapter on Omaha 8 or Better for Super System 2.
