Tom Dwan did something greater than just beating the game back in the days, he made poker amusing and inspired the next generations to get into that game. I believe poker owns a lot to Tom Dwan even if what he did was totally unintentional.
He was my role model when I got into poker, and I literally tried to imitate his style. Needless to say, it didn't work for me as it did for him lol but nonetheless, it was just incredible to watch this 20 yo kid, bluffing these ego maniacs and beating them down.
couldnt have said it better. I was 19 when HSP season 5 came out and was introduced to dwan, changed the game for me. I still rewatch that season on the reg for the nostalgia
Couldn’t agree any more... as a young man myself I can confirm all my friends and I looked up to his play and tried to imitate it to some degree. Legend of the game
@@laor55 yeah its the worst idea ever in the same time , i see so many toms in my online games, they lose alot of money lets put it this way! i like how ppl take an idea they move it in a complete different eviroment and then nothing works and they cant figure why! lol
@@oc7455 yeah but they negotiated a settlement eventually. It’s not like Tom just walked away forever. It was frustrating as you know in real-time and seemed Wtf but...he and Jungle still are friends for a reason
I feel like Dwan has really come out of his shell over the years. I used to watch interviews with him and he would be slightly socially awkward and shy but he seems bubbly and comfortable these days, it may be the fact that it’s his friend interviewing him but still, it’s nice to see! True beast of poker
That's back when he was sat in front of his computer playing the nosebleeds online all day, then black Friday happened and he was forced to play live and interact with people so his social skills naturally got better
The more I watch these the more I realize Nick Shulman is even a bigger class act than I thought before and I can see why he’s respected among the elder statesmen and the youth of the game.
FR, I wish somebody asked him if he can run through what was going through his mind during the bluff for like $700K where Ivey could have made the sickest call with a pair of sixes
I remember when I first heard the name Tom “Durrrr” Dwan and when I first saw him on High Stakes Poker I was like this is the Stu Unger of our generation. He has always been an icon for me and I’m probably a little older than he is... by the way how could I get his autograph? I would seriously frame a playing card, dollar bill or napkin signed by him. I always appreciate watching Durrrr, always will! I don’t know if there is any player that was ever more exciting, personally in my opinion there is not.
I thought on the last one he was for sure going to say isildur 2009 but he probably doesn't like to think about that match too much and no mention of Jungleman which is probably for the best
For anyone who hasn’t read Gus’s book “Every Hand Revealed” it’s a REALLY good, fast book. It’s not a great “learn how to play” book whatsoever, just a fantastic book for anyone who loves the game and reading Gus’s thoughts through EVERY hand. Loved it when it came out years ago
I remember ten years ago, the internet kids would make all these weird faces and keep their mouth hanging open during hands. Then i watched Dwan in HSP and understood where they got that from.
I like Gabe's explanation of why he didn't pull it back better....If Barry doesn't want to run it twice then im not going to do what he wants. I really respected Tom after I saw that more so than ever.
I've always thought that if I had the bankroll to have played against guys like Dwan, Ivey, Esfandiari, Helmuth back when I used to watch poker in college, Tom Dwan would have been the most difficult one to play against for my style at the time. His wild bluffs and overbets would have given me nightmares. I even for a period tried to play his style and I just couldn't mentally stomach the crazy variance
Actually great to get some insight from both. Nick, you are so awesome. One constructive feedback is not looking at the laptop when the person you are interviewing is speaking, I felt frustrated that 100% focus was not on Dwan when he was speaking. Understand you were looking at questions as well. Thanks for the content Poker King!
One of the greatest, one of the few that changed and helped to evolve the game and a sick sick gambler.. Having just 2% equity more on the flop he rejects to pull money back from a 1 mil pot😆😆
hahaha, imagining the convos between galfond and durrr about (before he started through now) galfond "teaching everybody great poker", that's twice now in interviews durrr not too happy about the equity sucked out from that. the response in the triton interview ("i am high stakes poker") was more involved than here, but both responses about the same.
In the hand vs Barry...earlier in the same session Barry told Tom “run it once”. The way it was edited and obv appeared was that Tom basically saying FU as payback from before. I’m guessing Tom doesn’t watch the old HSP as much as we have over the years and would love to know if he was reminded of the fact that Barry had done that previously, if Tom would’ve answered that question differently 🤔
Barry ALWAYS ran it once. The question wasn't to run it or not. Barry said he would not run it, but would be willing for each player to take back $200k from the pot. Tom said no to that because he thought he was a slight favourite.
@@Joel-js2gk Joel, you are 100% man! Just reading your comment rang total recall! That’s exactly what it was. Barry wanted to pull back. EDIT: however 100% earlier in that session, HU Barry b Tom and Tom asked once/twice. Barry obv said once. Given that history when Barry asks for a pull back, it’s pretty much the same as run twice re removing money not variance. That’s what it was. Right on! I recall in real-time thinking “fuk yeah” as I’m 100% Barry had rejected Tom’s earlier “deal” of run twice/3x and when Barry asked for the pull back I was happy as fuk Tom declined. That was obv early Tom exposure to the bigger established names like Barry, who I love btw, but you either do business HU in river or you don’t. Can’t be “only once” and than be a “pull back” dude as well. Just looked bad IMO
It was Barry who declined running it twice and this seemed to piss Dwan off which is understandable given it was a huge pot. He snap declined Barry’s request to take money back
Exactly.. I'm not sure why he's explaining it like that. Barry declined the first time and it looked like it was reciprocal when Tom did it. Odd answer.
Dwan actually said Barry would only run it once even before he asked him. It is well known that Greenstein never runs it more than once like many old school players. I don't think Dwan was mad I think it was more off if you aren't going to bend the "rules" I won't either type of deal.
@@CHRISG612 I haven't seen that one but tom does mention it in the clip so he knows barry only runs it once. Also in toms answer he says he would have taken the money back if he had calculated his odds correctly and was laughing about it the entire time. 4:11
Great interview and redirecting with the questions. He would be a fascinating guy to just shoot the shit with off the record...I image he has some pretty incredible stories.
@@kkkkdidikddd9033 it's literally his answer to the Q right here in the video. And it does make perfect sense as well, that he thought he was 52% and not a dead flip
If you watched the full episode, first of all Barry said it after Barry himself sucked out on Dwan's aces with J9 on a 942 flop. Second, he said it because there was some charity going on where the online community pledged to donate a certain amount if Barry said "math is idiotic" specifically
Nick has such swag. Seems like an awesome guy. And looks like a supermodel. Dwan looks much better here, more rested. He is a legend. I got into poker because of him
You can watch it somewhere. Barry said no to twice but he said we can pull have pot back or something like that (so loser loses less.) I think that annoyed Dwan so he said F it
Which is the book in question, mentioned in the beginning of the interview? (I'm not talking about Super System, the other with the hand reviews like Dwan and Nick brought up) It's hard to hear the name of it
"Every Hand Revealed". It's Gus basically going through his thought process throughout all the hands of a tournament he won (Aussie Millions). It's a really good book, def worth reading
Dude is deff a genius.. notice know he says “ i got some time in between” hell do the science shit when hes 50 60 and probably fucking cure cancer.. a poker degenerate.. but right now hes just enjoying his life and I for one fuckin love it 💯🔥❤️🔑
Hello mate. It's always a good watch listening to Tom talking about past hands from HSP. I'm developing a new poker movie and would love the chance to have a chat to see how we can collaborate. A poker movie that is poised to be the right film that poker players want to see. "Casino meets Pulp fiction & Rounders."
He's actually wrong. If you are a dog you want to only run it once. The more times you run it, even if it's only 2, the closer the variance will be towards the winning hand. So he was wrong then and ironically wrong now lol.
It lowers the odds of winning the full pot, but also lowers the odds of going broke. If you're a 70/30 dog, if you run it once there's a 70% chance you go broke. Run it twice, there's a 49% chance you go broke, 51% chance you win something and stay alive (+21%), and 9% chance you win the full pot (-21%).

I’ve said this before, Tom Dwan is a true gentleman gambler. Such a class act! And he’s a humble genius.

Dwan is my favorite player of all time.!!! Truly Legend
No matter what people said about dwan , he’s still one of my all time fav alongside Ivey , Phil galfond
The more I watch these the more I realize Nick Shulman is even a bigger class act than I thought before and I can see why he’s respected among the elder statesmen and the youth of the game.
he's got talent. Not everyone has his level of guts to bluff like that
I missed this guy!!! So glad he’s back playing season 8 high stakes !!!
Sammy Farha was my favorite on high stakes poker Dwan is right there too, my two favorites
Phil Hellmuth and Tony G
I love these videos. Wish there was more insight to these guys on and off the table. Love hearing how they work
My dude,,,NJ has the best Poker players in the world. Respect Tom...
All good questions will be circled back on or avoided, but the layups answered “AMA”.
You owe us an Ivey story, Tom.

Hell yeah..I had a leather bracelet that said WWDD.
Rumor has it Tom went to Total Recall to suppress the Isildur era
I love this interview, so raw! Great stuff!
Wow I never saw his personality before. What a sweet heart!
I thought on the last one he was for sure going to say isildur 2009 but he probably doesn't like to think about that match too much and no mention of Jungleman which is probably for the best
Probably still owes him several hundred thousand dollars at least.
Chip Reeses contributions to super system are great! My first poker read almost 20 years ago! Glad to hear Tom read it along with Hanson's stuff

Dwan writes a poker book
I will 💯 read it !!
I'd give 100:1 he never does. It would be interesting though.
Remember seeing Tom in Sydney, nice block. Durrrr
Never forgotten him saying he hates this fucking country
The galfond line is so funny
How is there not a full movie about this man yet?
If I were just listening to this I would think Tom Dwan was on Dax Shephard’s podcast
Haha I scrolled down to the comment section and now I can't unhear it haha..
I remember ten years ago, the internet kids would make all these weird faces and keep their mouth hanging open during hands. Then i watched Dwan in HSP and understood where they got that from.
don't forget the bobbing your head back and forth to the tune of your chip shuffles! 😂

2. Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan
3. Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom

Tom: “I mean I have a pair..”

always have absolutely loved tom dwan from the beginning and its safe to say hes an even bettter person now. Nick is the GOat !
I just recently watched this I've been watching old high stakes poker episodes on TH-cam, also when Dwan bluffed Ivey that was crazy
THATS what I wanted to hear about. When he was staring at the ceiling so long his eyes watered!
TOM IS THE PERFECT POKER PLAYER.. STAYS THE SAME LEVEL.. NEVER UP OR DOWN... WITH EMOTION... A GREAT PLAYER
You mean Phil ivey. Oh wait, ITS BECAUSE HES A CIS WHITE GENDERED MALE?
Phil Galfond decided to teach everyone poker lol
Tom always act like me when i was on my FIRST date.But i respect him.Great player
Its so weird to see the interviewer look through the laptop nonchalantly while the dwan excitedly talks about his ideas next to you
He inspired me to get into the game, when I discovered him in 2015
I'd like to know what happened when he called all in with AQ against Paul.
He didn't call though. He ripped.
this guy changed the game...he made it fun to watch on TV....Gus Hansen was first but Dwan took it to a whole next level
If you go back and watch Gus it’s funny cuz it’s hard to believe you ever thought he was any good
@@dayra6425 yeah alot of it was the element of surprise because nobody was playing like that but once everyone caught up he was crusty

Ask Tom about Jungleman and how he ran away scared like a little girl
Can you explain ?
This is when Inlost all respect for Dwan. Be tood Greenstein (whatever you want to do). Grenstein then told him and he said no.

oh geez Tom Dwan could be Data in the next next generation star trek movie lol
He looks so much older now compared to that cash game he talked about vs Greenstein. Years of poker has been hard on the guy lol
Dwan seems to be suffering from post-traumatic memory loss from the smackdown Jungleman laid on him.
On the Greenstein question, correct me if I'm wrong, but Greenstein never ran it more than once.
