Thank you for putting this up! Gained a lot from this interview, I think the interviewer did a real good job of keeping Tom comfortable and overall real . Thanks !
Weird randomly started watching old hands yesterday on a youtube bender and the man himself comes out with an indepth interview for the very first time which is rare for tom durr dwan.
33:37 - "Has there ever been a time when you've been chained to the game?" *Triad gang member cocks gun in background 34:00 - "Has there ever been a time where you thought your career would end?" - *Triad gang member brandishes gun menacingly in background
Great interview and I appreciate what Lee Davy tried to do with his questions, but would it have killed him to ask about his biggest pot win or loss and the hand history of it, or a poker question like it?
It’s obviously worth it. If you see stress and exhaustion then your playing the wrong game. He doesn’t regret any second of it because he loves the game that’s him. He’s doing what he loves to do and making a fantastic living off of it. And I doubt he owed money he was probably staked by paul phua, so that in itself is great insurance against any swings he had playing at nosebleeds. If part of that arrangement was to help expand triton poker then it was one hell of a deal-Triton poker is awesome Phil Phua Is a super Relaxed great individual, Dwan will always be fine, People just like hearing about dwans losses Just salty human tendencies where bad news travels faster-Doug polk was ectastic but was he ever there when Durr stacked some of those asian businessmen? How many times did durrrr win against these guys? Even if he was only up a little bit in those games and was staked in those games by backers like paul that game is colossal he is up at least $2-million to $10 million. He’s a grown man he is not about the limelight and publicity whatever happened out there if he lost and had to grind back its all good or if he won a bunch and then lost a bunch what does it matter? has alot of means of support given his networks with other high stakes card players, paul, he can handle himself. All i know is he is one heck of a cardplayer and undoubtedly the best cash game hold em player of all time. he is an icon. The man is fine living well and doing well even 2 yrs ago when this interview came out. And my phil phua take on it, on how everything went for him is all rumour because iv heard all the rumours so what Im guessing to be the worst case scenario likely didn’t happen even in that case its really nothing hes doing just fine. Have you ever seen him talk about how much he has won off of others? He keeps to himself he doesn’t boast about his wins like ever. he hardly talks about how much he has won ever. Because he stays out of the limelight doesn’t mean somethings wrong-Macau was where the game thrived and there was alot of money to be made. ALOT.
I think this interview was actually pretty great. Tom is definitely very intelligent. I do however dislike that he deviates away from struggle of being a poker player. 1 major issue would be the money. I know for a fact that their were instances in Macau where he was really struggling...Let's not forget how he disappeared from the scene for a long time after black Friday. Too many unknowns that I wish poker players were brave enough to share: LIke the struggles and realities of poker/gambling. I feel that we were mislead by all the High Stakes Poker we used to watch. Please let me know what happened to Eli, Ted Forrest, Viktor Bloom..and all these players. Even JRB say's he has a backer... Poker has a lot of harsh realities.
JRB sucks, Viktor Bloom still plays high stakes. Nobody mislead you. You didn't hear from players after black friday because alot of pros had the majority of their roll in full tilt. Jungleman admitted he had 60% plus of his roll in full tilt when black friday happened. They had to restart.
It's better as a hobby than a profession I think. I'd hate to play for a living. I guess some people don't have a choice. You can see how much he's aged, and I can't say I'm surprised. Seems like more than half of pros go broke eventually.
@@elastronaute1198 Gabe annoying? Wtf, the best host ever and knows poker ins and outs better than anyone. Also great sense of humor. Id love to see him do some interviews
@@elastronaute1198 damn you are the biggest idiot ive ever heard of! Gabe is by far the best commentator of all time. Old school high stakes poker without gabe kaplan??? Hell no!
Yeah, old HSPs are rewatchable gold. I heard an old interview with Barry Greenstein where if I remember correctly, the entire interview was about one hand in HSP and Barry explained what was going on. It was fairly long. It was actually the most fascinating poker-interview I've heard. Content like that is more fascinating than having players on Rogan. He is clueless about poker so cant get into the nuances very well, and will drift into just other stuff.
High stakes poker had some of the greatest players to ever play the game on the show. Its arguably the best poker show of all time. But if you take Gabe away, it would never be the same. Gabe is one of a kind, a good heart and good human being. Amazing humor and poker knowledge. Brilliant individual in general as well.
I think his response to the question about Full Tilt/Black Friday speaks a lot to Tom's actual character. He's still clearly emotional/angry/frustrated about what happened and the way that FT and other players responded. Good guy imo, hope he's doing well
Please explain. You used the word “scammer” to define Dwan. Have you personally been swindled by Dwan? or is it like my friend had a friend of an uncle of a brother who heard that he scammed someone?
This channel gets the best Poker guys for their interviews. Maybe Paul Phua just says: You wanna be in our juicy sidegame this weekend? Just make this interview.
Actually, props to the interviewer here. Contrary to a lot of comments, this was actually a good examination of Tom and possibly the most thorough I've seen online. Of course Tom behaves awkwardly but after spending the best part of the last 10 years at a high stakes poker table, you're bound to be a little socially inept and self conscious. He's still quite smart and articulate in his on way.
@johnnie anon He's always been an awkward interviewee, for sure. But he's clearly not gay and regardless I'm stumped as to how that has any relevance to how he speaks in this interview.
Should have asked about his time on High Stakes Poker, his time in Poker After Dark, why he felt the need to move to Macao and quit Vegas. Does the interviewer know who Tom is ?
"This summer i might play the world series".. Video release date: 10 November.. either this video was recorded over 6 months ago or poker players live such a crazy life they really have no idea what time of the year it is ever.
Here is list of questions you could’ve asked him: Have you ever went broke ? What’s biggest pot you ever played ? Who is your favorite poker player ? What do you think about Phil Ivey cheating case ? If you wanna be silly ask him how much do you have now in your bank ? If you wanna be silly ( next level ) ask him what’s your percentage of this cash game you can take home ? Welcome.
that's been always the teacher problem, they can't explain why a rule need to be applied. Simply said why bodybuilder still need lifting while an elevator can help them? will convince the kid to train their brain
This not a revelation by any stretch but hearing/seeing interviews of successful poker players shows you they would have been successful in almost any career path they would have chosen. Tom comes off as a smart & calculated individual.
That's kind of true at the top level of any sport, game or occupation. To be one of the best you have to have the mindset of a winner, and be determined to put in the work and diligence to be successful and stand out over the 'crowd'. Successful business people have the same qualities. They just don't give up and will push any sort of edge to the maximum, then find another one. So I think it's true he would have been successful in any pursuit he took a keen interest in, as is true of pretty much any of the top players.
Watching this was more educational than many educational contents out there. I really like the part where he says he loves to face people who supposedly knows it all, and the way he says it is poker nature to take your best guess and that's all. It's an important point because it's easy for a poker player, like me, to fall into the rabbit hole of perfectionism, and I don't think that's healthy.
Absolutely. Or what do you drive? Do you save any of your winnings? Who do you like playing most/least? What are some of the things you've bought with your winnings? What are your favorite forms of entertainment? The interviewer is so pretentious and dull and is oblivious. Wasted opportunity.
You're very right on about that thought. Every answer sounded so tentative instead of just blurting it out. He sounds far from the poker player that has made some of the most extraordinary plays on the felt
Loving all those interviews. But can you guys do them in 4k? Also Im sad that there wasnt much about Macao cash games in this interview. That would be a very interesting topic to discuss. Maybe somebody saw videos where players discussed Macao high stakes cash games and can share?
After watching Durrr i just stopped having idols...because you are best at doing things in your own way, no matter how weird or strange it is. I am sure a lot of you just took the poker lessons from his amazing plays, but trust me, the most valuable lesson is beyond the poker game !
He doesn't look healthy at all.... he needs to take a break.... have a balance in his life. He might die like Stu Ungar... I like Tom - hope he will have healthy balanced life...
interviewer loves taking those long deep in thought pauses interupting the delivery of his questions and then he says the exact words it was obvious he was going to during his theatrical pauses.
Just look at him 10 years ago! Look at the eyes, the sunken cheeks, the odd facial dyskinesia . He reminds me of Jimi Hendrix in 1970. Look at Hendrix in 1967 when he hit it big and then look at him just 3 years later. I see the same thing here. Great genius burns brightest. Tom looks like he is riding the tiger and if he isn't careful it will eat him. I think he might actually have some makeup on here which means he looks far worse and also notice he mentions that he hasn't had sleep which he always seems to say in every interview so he is well aware his appearance is shocking to people. Let me help those who don't understand. I played blackjack very very seriously for 10 years. It was incredibly stressful, the pressure of running your brain at that level for extended periods can burn anyone out. I have an idea of what he goes through and I had to get away from it or would have done me in. I think Tom needs to get away from the game for about a year and then come back. I think if he doesn't it will harm him. Look at him at 27:50 where they touch on the stress he is goes through. Better yet look at his expression at 32:01. You can't tell whether he is smiling or grimacing in pain.
The interview has some interesting question near the end when he asked about the event surrounding Black Friday. This interview is definitely more in-depth and more philosophical than most interviews.
At 50.14 when being asked about why he’s an ambassador you can see him say “ well you know I have de...” as if he’s trying to tell the reporter it’s because he has debts to pay. Interesting he also speaks about grinding because he has to I wander how much he owes Paul Phua ?
Dear Triton Poker And Mr. Phua, Australia has been given the finger both in stale casino games, no house games allowed without licensing and heavy taxing and no house games allowed, thru legislation and access its un-managable.. Please make sth East Asia and Australia a priority for short deck for the reasons provided. so that we not stuck playing 1/2 til we die of boredom. This video talks about how hard it became to find decent action or good games, we need this. Best wishes from the little world down under.

I wish Tom would go on Joe Rogan’s podcast
Jesse Nelson and talk about losing 30million usd in one hand
it works better in a niche format. Ike was on rogan, and the fact that he has to talk to people that dont know about poker kinda ruins it
When did he lose 30mill on one hand?
@Hartz4 Oskar you get it.
I wish he would open a twitch account
Tom Dwan looks like he escaped the Enterprise from Star Trek

Love you Durrrr....please stay healthy!...poker ain’t worth it to be stressed and exhausted all the time
Agreed
Owing money causes stress especially with the interest
Ok mom.
It’s obviously worth it. If you see stress and exhaustion then your playing the wrong game. He doesn’t regret any second of it because he loves the game that’s him.

Thanks for doing an Interview Tom! This interviewer could have done a much better job.
I’d love to see an interview with Tom Dwan with someone who wants to talk poker
The full tilt days were my favourite in online poker.
If you close your eyes, David Beckham is interviewing Tom.
Steven Hir they all sound the same
You mean Robbie savage
Jesse cumbee no and no to Steven lol, there’s like 30 different accents. Becks has a much higher pitch
if you close your eyes
i think all you see is Beckham
😭👌
Amazing content. You can tell Tom is brilliant.
Been a fan of Tom for awhile he has steel balls bro seen him do some crazy bluffing
I think his response to the question about Full Tilt/Black Friday speaks a lot to Tom's actual character. He's still clearly emotional/angry/frustrated about what happened and the way that FT and other players responded. Good guy imo, hope he's doing well
What exactly happened?
I just discovered this channel. Gonna watch a ton. Thanks
Toms way of thinking is everything!
I'd watch a movie on Tom Dwan
Good to see he's happy. He's a nice person and a legend.
This interview somehow completely glossed over the fact that Tom Dwan is a superhero.
wrybread
Actually he’s a scammer who owes a lot of money to a bunch of people but OK.
Please explain. You used the word “scammer” to define Dwan. Have you personally been swindled by Dwan? or is it like my friend had a friend of an uncle of a brother who heard that he scammed someone?

To everyone saying Tom should quit grinding and get some sleep. That’s part of what makes guys like Durrrr LEGENDARY.
He looks like Sheldon who dropped out of college
It's so exciting to watch him play
6 mins in and im thinking...this is a really weird interview. lol
@johnnie anon He's always been an awkward interviewee, for sure. But he's clearly not gay and regardless I'm stumped as to how that has any relevance to how he speaks in this interview.
@johnnie anon I thought that too but hes married although homosexuals get married to disguise themselves as heteros
He's at the JSOP in a gas chamber in Jupiter
Why?
johnnie anon even if he was gay, who cares? And why would he be ashamed? Lol what you’re saying makes zero sense.
Should have asked about his time on High Stakes Poker, his time in Poker After Dark, why he felt the need to move to Macao and quit Vegas. Does the interviewer know who Tom is ?
life changing. thanks guys
This interviewer is extremely well informed and up to date about the state of poker. Great job.
Outstanding interview
The legend of Durr!
why is there soft piano music playing in the background?

"This summer i might play the world series".. Video release date: 10 November.. either this video was recorded over 6 months ago or poker players live such a crazy life they really have no idea what time of the year it is ever.
Great catch.
Here is list of questions you could’ve asked him:
Have you ever went broke ?
What’s biggest pot you ever played ?
Who is your favorite poker player ?
What do you think about Phil Ivey cheating case ?
If you wanna be silly ask him how much do you have now in your bank ?
If you wanna be silly ( next level ) ask him what’s your percentage of this cash game you can take home ?
Welcome.
He probably doesnt wanna be asked that because he owes money to folks.
Such a great interview. Go Tom Dwan!!! Inspire me to lose more monaaay in this economic depression!!!!
36:10-36:46 is golden, Dwan!
If only the math teacher had said,
"Tom, you won't be able to use a calculator at the poker table!"

I think some intelligent conversation is appreciated. Dwan can deliver that.
My man did give a lot of examples questions I wouldn’t mind knowing the answer to.... 🤔 poor interview

this interview looks more like an interrogation form an FBI agent
The interview has some interesting question near the end when he asked about the event surrounding Black Friday. This interview is definitely more in-depth and more philosophical than most interviews.
What exactly was he referring to with respect to Black Friday?
Where is tom dwan now? Pls answer my question.
