Hiya

Posted by tomdwan | Filed under Poker

Hiya.

And welcome to my new blog. So I’m gonna try to post a bunch, but I’m usually busy and since writing isn’t exactly my favorite pastime, this might not work out too well… we’ll see.

Since this is my Full Tilt Poker blog, I’d like to thank them for adding me to the team. It’s an honor to be a part of such a talented group. I’m really looking forward to winning a buncha tourneys with this patch on.

So anyway, onto something I can write a whole blog about… the first things that come to mind are kite surfing and skydiving, so I’ll start there.

I recently spent a week and a half in Spain, hopping around between the beaches and Barcelona. I saw a bunch of kite surfers off of the beach in Marbella, and they totally blew me away. The stunts these guys could do were pretty sick, and I’d like to get somewhat into the sport, at least until I break something…

On to safer activities… I’m getting the urge to go skydiving again. I’ve been twice before in Las Vegas, though I had a slightly different experience each time. The first time I jumped was early in the morning after a crazy night out. I was exhausted the night before, having not slept in 24 hours, and was planning to crash before 11pm. My friend Alan Sass convinced me to go out and meet some friends, and before I knew it we were showing up to SkyDive Las Vegas early the following morning. Still drunk from the night’s activities, we somehow seemed sober enough for them to let us jump. Everyone I knew who had gone skydiving in the past told me how scary it was, but on the way up in the plane I had almost no fear, and thought every moment of it was super awesome.

About a year later, I got a group of friends together to make a jump, remembering how amazing the rush was the time before. This time, I remembered how I had zero fear on my first jump- but with no tequila shots in my system I suddenly realized I was about to fall out of an [expletive] airplane. It was obviously still awesome, though.

I’m actually heading back to London in a few days, and would love to go skydiving while I’m there. I want to see as much of England as I can during my short visit, but I don’t have the time to drive around the country, so I’d rather just jump out of a plane and get a bird’s eye view. On my way down I’ll be pointing things out and going: “That’s cool, that’s cool, that’s cool”.

Speaking of mid-air activities in London, I was recently there and took part in a short helicopter trip. We were heading to what I thought was a Jay-Z concert with Coldplay opening, however in the UK, it was the other way around… news that Patrik and I were not very happy to hear. As way bigger Jay-Z fans, both of us were pretty sad about his shorter set… I thought Patrik was gonna head-butt someone. I wasn’t quite as bothered as he was, but was still pretty disappointed. Regardless, the show was still super sweet. The funniest part of the night was when the helicopter landed in a huge soccer field, and some kids supposedly thought Phil was Jay-Z, which is hilarious if true.

I wanna talk about poker slightly more in at least some of my future entries, and will probably have one about my upcoming heads-up show in London. It’s the FullTilt Poker Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge, starting November 17^th in London’s Les Ambassedeurs casino. I’ll post more about that later.

Also, I’ve been playing Isuldur1 a lot lately. He’s a very aggressive player, and there have been some huge swings because of both of our aggressive styles. A month or so from now, I’ll probably be addressing the games in a more detailed entry, but as of now I’ll save that for a later date.

Share and Enjoy:

It’s time to join the club and get your license. You will find that your first AFF jump is much different, and later you will find the freedom that only comes from jumping by yourself.

If you want to build up some confidence as you progress through the sport, you should get some time in a wind tunnel with a coach. In Vegas, there’s a place called “Vegas Indoor Skydiving” where you can do this.

Good luck

Zergum Says:

I’ll coach you for 500/hr and explain equity pre and such. you will be able to beat isuldur/other semi-soft hs regs. Without guy padding the rolls i fear you can’t sustain such a roll while shoving over 4bets with <30% equity.

Head down to Cabarete in the Dominican Republic or the Outer Banks in North Carolina (REAL Kiteboarding). Lessons are a must as it is dangerous if u don’t know what you are doing. Started Kiteboarding 7 years ago and spent a summer down in the DR. Best sport out there by far. GL

Skydiving is awesome,I did about 70 jumps in parachute regt.still love the tranquility when up a few thousand feet swinging lazily over the universe.
Followed your charismatic poker career with a degree of fascination and absolutely admire your courage and seeming sang froid.
Astonishing in your age group.
Really looking forward to your comments on the phantom swede[s]and his extraordinary good fortune against so many red FT players.Phenomena????

Hy Tom, i’m a big fan and am very happy to see you’ve started a blog. It’s pretty cool for all us amateurs to hear from our favourite pros and from my point of view I hope you keep it up!!:) Was interested to see Sammy George taking you up on the million dollar heads up challenge. What do you make of playing such an aggressive player one on one?? Also, everytime I seem to read the poker updates you’re setting a new record for largest pot. Hopefully your next big pot won’t result in a loss like last time out!!:)
Thanks Tom and regards,

James Groarke

I have been following you from High Stakes Poker Season 5, we have similar styles of play, but mine of course needs a lot of work/practice to come close to yours.

durrrr – i have a serious question – you must have freakin millions of FT points racked up. do you actually use them or do they just sit there? surely you could have claimed at least one mini cooper so far… if you have a few spare, feel like shouting me something cool and full tilty?

durrrr,

Congratulations on your membership in Team Full Tilt.

I have watched you play on TV, and have seen some of your interviews, and I would like to ask that you please expand on your thinking when you say that you are not a big fan of folding. In what type of situations do you follow this guidance? Obviously there are times when it is right to fold, and you do fold, but how do make the determination that the time is right?

Thanks Tom, and congratulations on your stellar record!
Lilly Says:

Tom Dwan you are amazing! I been watching you play on Poker After Dark during the long boring midnight security shifts in my empty building. Let me just say the intense intelligence I see in your eyes is probably the most attractive thing I ever saw in any man. I knew you had the ‘thrill seeking’ gene for having the cahoonies to play large amounts of money…but sky diving? Damn!

I hope you continue to have a great life and keep winning! Take care and may lady luck bring you all the happiness in the world.

First i would like to congrats you on becoming Team Fulltilt and as well as your success in poker.

Well I will be holding a special tournament for a very worthy cause it is a charity tournament with a buy-in that has not been settled on with 50% of the proccessed going to the charity that is near and dear to my heart and i believe that you would find it to be a very good cause. The date has not been worked out yet either but I would like to get as many Pro’s and well known players to sign up for it so others will want to play, you can email at jenn.kiss@ymail.com when you get a chance and i will explain what the charity is for. Thank you

Hi Durrr,

I’m a big fan of yours, since you seem like a very nice guy and I’m awed by your poker skills. So I hope you don’t take my question the wrong way… I’ve been railbirding A LOT the last weeks, I may have spend more time than you on the high stakes tables of FT

My question, or rather questions, all have to do with the new ISI phenomenon:
First, are you almost broke? Hate to ask it, but it seems like you lost an awful lot of money…
Second, how do you feel about all this? I can’t imagine loosing so much money, hope you take it well (obv. this question is related to the first one).
Third, why do you keep playing Isi? He doesn’t seem like a soft target. Is it about ego? Is it some prolonged tilt? Or do you really feel you have an edge on him?

Anyway, best of luck. I feel guttered you lost to Isi, I was rooting for you, best,

David

Nice! Europe is great from what I heard, haven’t been there but hopefully someday. Not quite sure how I got to this site as I was reading about your upcoming events but it’s still pretty cool to read what you’ve been doing and up to. How do you practice your techniques or basically just by playing that’s how you learn? Sorry I’m not a poker player and probably never will be with my luck. I mostly just watch tournaments on tv and on sleepless nights ended up watching Poker After Dark, it’s cool! I think that’s how I knew more about you, you’re a very intriguing person. Of course now is one of those nights as well, so good luck and have fun in London!

I’m guessing after playing countless hands with “Isuldur1″, you’ve figured out who he/she is, but did it frustrate you before to be personally challenged (at such high stakes) by someone you didn’t know?

Tom, you have to post more. I have to admit I’m a huge fan. I like the fact that there is always a reason behind the crazy plays. The more insight you give the better. Go get’em!

Hey Tom,

Are you certain that some of the high stakes players aren’t colluding to cheat you the way they did Isildur? I think it’s rather suspicious that Antonious is up $9 million while you’re way down. No doubt Townsend and others have cheated more players than Isildur. You should forget about online play and stick to Bobby’s Room.

You knows, after reading this, and you stating, “I’m a proud member of Full Tilt Poker.” I read in an article that you had refused an offer once before because they weren’t offering you the right amount of green. What made you change your mind? The players that they sponsor, such as Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonious, Chris Ferguson, or did they just offer you what you wanted? Just wondering about the whole thing.

“Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge” sounds unreal, cant wait to watch.
I dont suppose there is anything coming up agin like “poker after dark” where we can see players interact and see personalities and joking around, also recapping a hand and explaining the thought process, blew my mind.

would also like to hear other comments about Tom’s “poker after dark” show.

first time on a blog, now sure how it works, so im probably doing it wrong.

Hey! So I am in BC and have been following and playing Texas Holdem for a few years. Phil ivey was my favorite player for quite a while but I have decided Tom Dwan is it now. I haven’t seen any other player with such intensity and agression. When I watch him play I am never bored but amazed. Increadible bluffs too and hero plays….Amazing….I am learning from him!!!

Personally, i’d have to be pushed to get me out of the plane. I can just hear my mind saying “are you crazy im not going out there” and my ego saying “well your here so you better just do it”. How do tell yourself to jump? Is the adrenaline rush from your mind catching up with the fact that you did jump or is it from the fact that your falling?

Sorry but i do not have a comment on your blog, but i have a burning question.
In poker afterdark season 6 you lost a hand against Phil Hellmuth
At the river card hellmuth hits a king high flush, you already had a 7 high flush and you checked and Hellmute went all in you thought about 25 seconds, and to my opinion you acted unlike you usually do.
You knew that hellmuth was a little frustrated, i think no wait i almost know for sure that you called and let him win that hand to make him feel better. Am i wrong?
I really like the way you play, keep it on and good luck!

Greetings,

Chris Brandwijk

Also, If you’re ever in Dallas and hungry for a pizza, I’m the lead cook at Pizza Lounge near fair park… your pie is on me.

Hi Tom!!

Love watching you play on Poker After Dark.

If writing or blogging isn’t your forte, I’d be happy to help. You dictate or give me a little baseline to work with, I’ll put it together, you approve it, I’ll post it. They payback would be a few personal tips on how to improve my game. Minimal effort on both parts and we both win (if you agree to this, that is?!) Are you game?

Good Luck at the tables . . . and kick Phil Ivey’s ass!!!! in Holdem that is! Now, ‘Get durrrrr dun’ Tom Dwan!
