I didnt write anywhere near enough blogs in 2010, i think i owe 50k to charity according to one twitter follower for that. Thats pretty sick, 50k laziness fine, but at least it’ll go to a good cause- i’ll need to spend some time finding a solid charity, but thats some time i shouldve spent already anyway. Im about to watch 127 hours which ive heard is pretty good, so this blogs in a bit of a rush- I’ll try and recap 2010 a little bit at a later time. For now, i’ll just mention that i took my parents to jayz for new years, which i thought was pretty hilarious (and they enjoyed it a lot). Almost went to pca for the 100k, but got a bit lazy and wouldve been a hassle to get there in time since i decided so last minute.
So anyway, now im about to send my girlfriend erica 25$ on ftp and 25$ on stars, hopefully she can run up her 1st 50$ too. competition was a bit easier when i did it, but there were less microlimits available, so i think she should still have a decent shot. She’s gonna try to run it up to the 1500 or 1k or whatever it is for the WSOP women’s event, i’ll post some updates when she lets me lol. Anyway gonna watch this movie, i’ll try to remember to tweet what i thought of it after. My twitter name’s tom_dwan btw.

Filmed 2 sit n goes for poker after dark so far, and have 2 cash games yet to film, one of which should be extra sweet. The poker after dark lineups are different this year than in the past, and while they might be more fun to watch, they definitely arent quite as juicy to play in, you’ll need to turn on nbc at 2am to see if i run good anyway or not.
I have 2 challenges open, both of which havent had much play in the last few weeks. I was busy with wsope, then traveling a bunch- but in the next few days/weeks i should be putting in a ton of hands with jungleman. With regards to the patrik challenge, i want to clear up the thought that he’s stalling or doesn’t want to pay if he loses or something like that. Patrik and i talk a lot and he’s definitely done nothing wrong by me in the slightest. I don’t know if we’ll be finishing soon but hopefully we will, and sorry to the people watching that challenge that its gone on for so long.
As i said i was in europe, and that was pretty sweet. I spent most of the time in london for poker, and because i really like that city. Its the european version of new york imo. I flew back and spent 2 or 3 (dont exactly remember) days in oregon for a friend’s wedding which was a surprisingly fun trip considering i did about 30 hours of travel in 4days. I then flew back to london to tape late night poker, after which i spur of the moment flew to marrakesh for a 50k tournament they had. I really liked the casino it was held in (el saadi i think?), but unfortunately it only got 13 players. I flew back to london to film pokermillion, and my gf met me there after, and we flew to italy since my parents were on a 2week trip there. Unfortunately either the marriott in twickenham or some of the water/food in morocco got me sick, and i left the hotel room i think once in 3 days in rome. By the time we got to venice i was getting better, and i thought the city was absolutely amazing- having no cars and needing to get around by boat is pretty sweet, but after about 3days and 13049828 mosquito bites i changed wanting to go there a few months a year, to maybe visiting for a few days whenever im in italy. It was still an awesome city though.
My main regret of the last few weeks was being a bum on halloween. Not only did i not dress-up, i didnt even party at all (and apparently slept thru one really memorable night). At least i recovered from the europe trip, and hopefully that’ll make me run good on pad. Took a little day trip from vegas, and im on my way back now- flight boarding.
My next blog i’ll have a poll about how many tequila shots i should owe for a prop bet i lost on not writing enough blogs- no time now though, and i wanna write it out careful or i’ll be shitfaced.

so far jungleman and i have played somewhere around 7,000 hands and im down right about 700k. I cant seem to find the ftp page with exact results, so i’ll ask someone to make that a little easier (or explain to me why im dumb). Anyway obviously the challenge hasn’t gone too well so far, but luckily theres still 43k hands left and i’m hoping they will go a little bit better than the first 7k. We’re obviously playing this challenge a lot faster than patrik and i played the last one, so hopefully we’ll be done with it in a reasonable timeframe. Dan’s going to london too and said he might be busy there- which i also will be some, so there might be a slight lull for 3 or so weeks- but hopefully we’ll still play a few thousand hands in that time. I’d really like to finish this by the end of october or so (and hopefully be up at least 700k by then). Have to run now- but i’ll try to get a more detailed blog up sometime soon.

was just in the duece tournament, and busted with about 30 people to go. At one point i had 4% of the chips so it seemed like a really good shot to win some bets, but it all went downhill from there. I got moved to a table with david baker, who i stake, and called someone from fulltilt who was supposed to put a blog up just to mention that. I don’t know why it didnt make it up, but i guess i’ll try to make more sure in the future if im deep in any tables with people im either rly good friends with or stake just to make sure everyone can check for themselves and know nothing shady is going on.
Im on huge lifetilt from busting right now, and have 1/2 my starting chips in the 400some player 1500$ stud tournament, so im gonna try to take a shower or something and find a way to get some motivation and go grind that one, but it’ll probably be hard after just busting from a tournament where i had 4% of the chips at one point.
Dave benefield who’s one of my best friends, and i lived (and i guess technically still fake-live) w/ is at the ft of the 5k nl, so my plan is to shower, then go there and sweat him- where he’ll hopefully bust yellowsub (who im fake rooting against since i only owe 12.5% of him), then somehow have some patience back to go play the stud and win some bracelets.

For the record, there is someone out there using @durrrrpoker on Twitter and it is NOT Tom. However, we do want to get Tom on Twitter and I need your help to convince him! Post the reasons you think Tom should start tweeting and maybe we’ll get somewhere
