#PokerNews #PokerStories #StuUngar
Man O man, someone needs to spend about a thousand hours with this man on camera interviewing him and getting all of the stories and history recorded before it's lost forever. He is living history, that needs to be preserved.
Tomko never got the spotlight he deserved. The man got 2nd place in the main event twice and has won 3 bracelets.
You ganna pay for it?
💯
you should go to facebook look up Real Grinders and join. youll see some poker history posts there.
Whoa whoa buddy. I think 100 hours is plenty.
What a humble and wise man. Sounds like a genuine good dude
He's not as wise as you think. He gets his Bible teaching from Joel Osteen. His observation of himself near the end is more the case. "I'm not the smartest man in the world". Not the best idea to get a theological education from Osteen.
He exposed Larry Flynt's attempt to fix the Main Event one year.
@@JILOA dude you need to get a life lol
@@Pumalate77 I got a new, eternal life through Jesus. You need that too. Everyone does!
@@JILOA way to bring Jesus into a legendary old poker player just being himself…lol.
There’s probably some teachings you missed buddy.
I had the privilege of meeting Dewey Tomko one morning when we were both eating breakfast in Binion’s coffee shop during a WSOP... He was an exceptionally gracious person, and I was the better for having met him.. 🤓🙂
This was one of the greatest poker interviews of all time
Dewey T is a nice guy. I met him in a casino in Costa Rica a number of years ago, I was smart enough to NOT play poker with him, and he was nice enough to set our group with local people that made our fishing trip to Quepos great! If you read this Dewey... THANKS AGAIN! JACK
I'd love to play poker with him.
We have millions of hours of Spraggy on audio. We need more of guys like Dewey.
agreed, but spraggy rocks too.
Loved this. More quality interviews like this would be great. The interviewer was very good. Let him talk and didn't interrupt just so they could be heard. I love listening to the guys of this era talking about the game that has been their life.
Don't even play poker well at all, but I can listen to this guy talking about the interesting history he was apart of.
I like how he seems to regard bankers, hitmen, and robbers as in the same class of lowlife
he said "i've played with hitmen, bank robbers etc."
Because gamblers live a great life. Psychopaths, addicts, etc.
@@jefferyharper5720 good point
Its because they are all the same, they're all in bed together
I'm glad that I found this interview. Listening to a Legend talk about Playing Poker and what is needed to Survive as a Player is Priceless. Dewey Tomko covers a lot of territory in this Interview and hits a lot of key Points that are required to be a Survivor and what He says about the Discipline needed is something that is required in most aspects of everyday life as well as in a Poker game.
Thanks for sharing this Video.
He was a teacher that supplement his income by playing poker now poker players teach to supplement their poker
I'm really glad I watched this... I could listen to his stories all night. More interviews with Dewey!
"Don't be 'just good' in poker. Learn how to WIN in the game"
Best poker advise ever...
He is saying dont worry about being a great player. Just figure out how to win in your game.
Find the Lord was the best advice
I thought it was GENIUS
@@Jeremy_the_bot yes. best poker advice ever.
I play some at Orange City Card room and have met Mr. Tomko. It's said he's very down to earth, and I would agree, spoke with him once at the Card room. The man is a legend.
Need more videos like this I could listen for hours
I wish I could tell stories like the old timers. Nothing but respect and love!
Could you imagine having dinner or a few drinks with this guy? I'd just shut up and listen to Mr. Tomko for hours.
Never seen this, probably the most interesting poker interview I can remember. Legend
Check out the Amarillo slim documentary if you haven't already
I can back up Dewey regarding Chip Reese.
I was dealing top at The Bicycle Club in '89.
Chip was playing 1K/2k limit HE & luck was not with him.
During my 1/2 hour he lost 200k and you could never tell, he was that professional.
I went through that table again a few hrs later & he actually tipped me on a hand he won.
You could tell the players that had some class & he was one.
Chip Reese was the best player of his generation, and most likely the best all-around player of all time.
I see Dewey in Orange City all the time. He'll always greet anyone that greets him. The guy is very well grounded and is a great poker player. Here's a guy you can definitely take advice from.
If Stuey had never found cocaine and never sat down at a sports book he would be the richest greatest card player that ever sat at a table. And he will always be the GOAT playing gin rummy. Ever ever ever!
Tough to contradict.
Perhaps, but those are some pretty massive ifs.
Personally, I don't think Stuey could have been saved. He was bound to be destroyed by his own hunger for challenges.
If not cocaine, he would have found something else. Just my two cents.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid 100%
I believe in time even for 16 years he went crazy and didn't play stayed away from things you mentioned I believe in time holdem would have ended up drying up for him seemed he got better and better every year he played a game it was unbelievable this world will never ever see it again
Bankroll Discipline is my downfall this man has inspired me to fix that leak Thank you Mr. Tomko
Key 🔑
Yes! Indeed,Thank you Mr.Tomko
Did you fix it Paul?
Paul is broke and lives under the 405 freeway !
paul was last spotted driving knish's truck
This guy is such a legend. Old people are like that - unassuming, and experienced. Don’t let them fool you.
Nice guy and a gentlemen. In the 1990's i stayed away from him. Don't let the nice guy thing fool you. At the tables and the golf course, Dewey qualifies as an assassin.
Old people can teach you a lot ! Especially in gaming ( if they do it ) .
Incredible interview. We need to capture all these old time stories while the last half a dozen of these old timers are still around
Stories & personal experiences shared here are truly game changing eye openers. You don’t even have to be a poker player or a golfer to come away with how any obsession can create & dominate one negatively without discipline, family & faith. Great interview !
"Pokers cleaned up"
M postle ;hold my beer
Poker will always be dingy to some extent sadly
That's one of it's appeals to many. Bad but not usually TOO bad. I once played in a regular game with a nice old man who was cheating by using a card holdout gizmo week after week. The game caught him on a night I wasn't there, and it made me wonder how I ever won any hands from him, but I guess he only used it selectively on big hands.
What’s a card holdout gizmo?

Pfffffftt. Mike Postle isn't jack shit. Try dealing with someone who has a double barrel shotgun pointed at your head.
Dewey is a legend. Stood the test of time.
Great interview! Great respect for Dewey. Live & learn.
BEST interview EVER!!! i forwarded this to every poker player i know.
Thoughtful of you.
I’ll never understand why people feel the need to share everything they come across. It’s really an absurd age we’re living in.
The title you guys gave this video is a disgrace.
Thanks to Dewey for dropping some knowledge.
I have been doing it 20 years, this is how you make it keep your head on right.
three bracelets, finishing second in the main event twice...1982 to Jack Straus and 19 YEARS LATER AGAIN to Carlos Mortensen in 2001...and many many many more results...a true poker legend and the stories are very interesting as well...
Stue Unger ....he was the Johnny Rotten of Poker... Punk Rock Poker...Legend but as Johnny said "Better to burn out than fade away." great interview.
One of the best poker interviews I've ever seen
Mr. Tomko has always seemed to be a true gentleman and it was a pleasure to sit , watch and listen to his words of the " Ol' Times " as well as his words of wisdom .
Out of all the poker advice vlogs yada yada this is in the top 5 I’ve ever heard. Just honest invaluable nuggets
Share the other 4, please.
Great interview. One of the best I've seen on poker players
Fantastic interview, real down to earth perspective. Nothing fancy, just a good old chat.
These are the stories that I like, passing down knowledge and memories:)
I love old school stories like these!
Discipline, no greed, excellent management and probably a little bit of luck , that's the key points to keep on going if not sustaining and keep on playing the next day challenge. Loved the game but I'm not a gambler.. and that's fortunate. Thanks for the insight's, sir.
Dewey once said the following and I've never forgotten it: "Poker is a game of feel."
TGoat123 I’m an empath and can feel energies. I play poker and I completely agree. When you really listen to players, you almost always hear them say words like, “feel, felt, intuition, gut, knew”, yet most players will say it’s a game of logic, math and EV. When I have an unsure decision, I always go with my “feel” now.
@@Mike-kp8ej So you a pro then? no? didnt think so...
Numeronx are you, Hot Rod? Where do you play?
@@Mike-kp8ej I live in europe. Never met a selfproclaimed "feel empath bs player" that wasnt a fish. Id be willing to bet a pretty decent amount of cash that you are in that category.
Numeronx and I’d be willing to bet that you hide behind your computer to play and are to scared to sit down at a real table with real money against real men.
I miss the 00's poker was a lot different then... it seems like it was yesterday Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker but it was 20 years ago
Great interview, of a TRUE legend of the game!!
Great interview, what a humble man.
Loved this interview and Mr. Tomko. His love of God was nice to hear. God bless him.
Navy Seals and Top Gun fighters alike salute you Doyle for your grand legacy doing battle in the poker ring with Emersonian self-reliance and Special Forces warrior instinct, distinguished class, first-class professionalism, honesty of the highest order, and Texas dusty long-road grit. You are a true "road scholar" in pursuing truth and mastery in poker excellence, like a Texas beagle picking up the scent in pursuit, as well as a builder of sorts-- building the game through international bridges of friendship and bonds between players around the world.
From the smokey back rooms of Texas poker games of old, you brought the game to the leading edge of game theory and computer analytics. Doyle, rest in peace in the halls of poker Valhalla with your fellow poker brother in arms like poker legend Chip Reese. You highlighted, in your "road scholar" journey, how the truth can set us all free not just in the poker realm in the big game at Bobby's, but sublimely more importantly in the bigger poker game of life.
For a poker legend of your grand influence, you deserve a WSOP poker ring attached to your coffin much as is done in Navy Seal tradition at a funeral. You promoted truth and friendship for all around the world with the game of poker as the bridge of convergence. In the end, truth and love prevail amidst the drama and challenges of the beautiful game of high stakes Texas NL poker as well as in the bigger poker game of life.
The heart-wrenching sight of a flag-draped coffin is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice that brave men make every day to protect our country. But what is the significance behind the Navy SEALs slamming a metal insignia on the fallen soldier’s coffin? This action is a final tribute to the fallen service member and a show of respect to the fallen soldier’s family. It is a sign of honor, of appreciation, and of love that is paid to the fallen service member. It is an action that speaks to the commitment and sacrifice of our servicemen, and a symbol of the respect that the Navy SEALs have for their fallen comrade.
Thanks Dewey for taking the time. The first televised poker event I ever watched was the 01 main event coverage where you finished 2nd to Carlos. Hell, you guys were the last true renegades.....living it up outside the system, which is pretty much impossible now. Thanks for paving the way and showing us a life outside of the day to day is possible!
Dewey is right. Even when I started playing poker back in the 90's it was totally different. So much fun. Characters that you knew. Now it's just annoying most of the time. I was a grinder. 18 year old playing the L.A. circuits until I moved to Vegas. Pre Rounders/Moneymaker. Good ol' days.
The Best Advice I've Ever Heard Given By A Poker Player. ♥
I’m disturbed the way most major news outlets have ignored this story. However I am not surprised.
That’s a guy you don’t mind losing too, on the river, make a call knowing you’re beat, but too curious to see what he’s doing.
Figuring out how to win. That sums it up perfectly.
"Not one person who would put a dollar in on one of those hands"
Hi. My name is Tom Dwan.
Could not agree more. Congeniality and manners were paramount. Now the tables are filled with children.
“I’d tell any poker player, find the Lord” Million Dollar advice from someone who knows how valuable it can be
Such a great story starting around 16:00 ♥️♥️♥️
Hey God bless ya Dewey. I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. Good stories.
Nice interview.
Great vid! I love to hear these old stories and the wisdom.
Top bloke 👍
Great story teller
By far the best poker video I have ever watched. So much wisdom given.
I met him at Dewey’s in Orlando. He ordered me a fried bologna sandwich 🥪 from the menu which is his favorite childhood meal he said. Which is why it’s on his menu. 🤙🏼
1962 I was hitchhiking from Tampa to Frisco. An old pickup stopped. The driver asked if I could drive. He slid over as I got behind the wheel and said something about playing all night and letting those guys teach him how to play. On the floorboard in front of him was a large paper shopping bag so full of bills they were spilling out. Up the road he told me to pull over at a mailbox. He thanked me and drove off on a road that had no end, and left me in the middle of nowhere. I didn't know of Doyle back then but the age of that pickup driver matched what Doyle could have been and the whole thing happened in Doyle's Texas "back yard"??
Honestly I love listening to old people talk about anything. So much knowledge to pass down. These lessons go for all areas of life, not just poker.
Humbling sincere to the soul stories and life valuable advice, I am very very impressed! Wow!
you see, he is a real poker player, you will never find better and smarter players than of his generation. i dont care how much money a player has earned. what he has been through and who he has played with truly makes him one of the greats....................
man, doyle was evil back then, he's your best friend at the table then convinces you to play golf the next day where he beats you out of 98 grand...............................
Savage
@@PeterWW420 It's a good thing Doyle became a poker player and not a hitman for the mafia...
Streets would be littered with corpses. ;)
Doyle doesn’t seem to have much integrity. If you read some of his stories he travelled throughout texas with two other guys playing out of the same bankroll in the same game. You don’t think they ever cheated ? Tipping off their holdings to their partner ?
@@joevazquez9405 you know it was a completely different world back then. very few poker games were "clean". Every game being held was illegal. Not only did you have to avoid being cheated, but you had to avoid being robbed at gunpoint and being busted/robbed by the cops. The reason they went to Vegas was to avoid all of that and play in a setting where it was clean and legal with the proper security...They had easily proved that they did not need to cheat to win based upon their track records in Vegas..........
@@samiam7342 while I agree with most of what you say. It bothers me when people make him out to be some sort of idol. Have a great day
Regarding moving up in stakes, he's absolutely correct. Master the game at low stakes and build enough of a bank roll that it's not going to change your game moving up in stakes. I wish I learned this lesson years earlier.
I could listen to him all day , such personality .
Dewey is such a nice guy. I met him in Orlando at his restaurant 👍
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS MAN. Honest, intelligent, and tells a damn good story.
damn, i really needed this right now. Great advice
I live in Dallas and the stories he's telling are absolutely spot on. When you go into the poker rooms in Dallas now the old timers will tell you stories that sound unbelievable, but then you hear the same story at another club and it's like 🤔 maybe it's true. Benny Binion started out in Dallas before he went to Vegas and started the WSOP and he had literal killers on his payroll, so you never know what's exaggeration and what's true out here.
I thought this might be good, and was right. I remember Mike Sexton showing him a lot of respect in the early days of the WPT. Guys from that era are treasures.
Regarding bankroll management and longevity, we might need to make his path cross that of Rampage for them to exchange stories and maybe get Ethan some golf lessons, hahaha.
I always admired Dewey.....after this interview, I admire him even more. I never realized our hometowns were a few miles apart...I'd love to meet him and talk about the old Mon Valley.
The year is 2021 the person doing the interview I guess has never heard of a microphone so we can hear what the hell questions she is asking. WHAT AN AMATURE.
Survival and finding a way to win. Simple, but profound advice.
thank you for this interview. So good to see some of the old guard still around.
To think he was making so much money playing he turned down 900k a year AND 10% of the card room that he was asked to run... and that was in '81! That money went a lot further than it does now.
And when I watch super old clips of poker players from around those times I can see why he turned down that money to play. LMAO
Great Advice! Better Times ! It is Very Sad Times We are living in 2020..When ? Buddy Mercury is Considered a Top 2 Musical Talent in The World.
the game has changed and evolved,,most of those older people have not adjusted to the new style and game of poker and the sick maniacs that play it today
This is fucking myth, I swear to god. People talk so much shit about ranges etc., but nothing has changed except most people have basic understanding as opposed to none. But at the cash games, people can know when they are beat, but a degenerate still makes the call.
Glassport is a neighborhood like 20 min from mine. No clue how I didn't know he was from here
Dropping bombs of knowledge at the end.
🤦♂
What he's talking about is grinding. Over the long term you have to preserve your bankroll. If you don't have a bankroll you don't have a game to play. I grew up in the 50s and 60s in the Cleveland area and there was a lot of gambling going on. It was illegal. We didn't care we played every weekend usually. Home games that could get very expensive.
I went to school in Winter Haven with a Randy Tomko. Idk if they have a connection. Randy was very quiet but I respected him.
They need to legalize online poker nationwide. That will make poker popular again.
What an insanely great interview.
Assuming the rake is beatable- and sometimes it isn't- you can make money at poker. But unless you can play like Mikey McD in Rounders or Stuey, able to read another player's hand with a high degree of accuracy. It's a gift or a curse, like Michael Jordan being able to dunk or Steph Curry hitting deep 3s, most people that know the basic math and the starting hands and pot odds and all that, it isn't enough. You don't need to be lucky but you do need to be not be unlucky because the "long run" can take million of hands.
I mean the rake is ridiculous especially at 1/2 and if your tipping a buck everyhand you win on top of of say 5 dollar rake plus 1 for bad beat, it adds up, a lot of money leaves the table. So u gotta play higher blinds to make money more easily. Not to say u can't make decent money playing 1/2 no limit well. But its gonna take a lot of hours overall I think. U can just play your cards and do well at poker in the long run. Even if u just play your good hands at 2/5 or higher nl and tournaments u cant make good money. That being said good luck
When I hear "The gambler" by Kenny Rogers, I think of a guy like this
he’s a master. He’s even hard to read when he speaks
The best games to watch are when they bring the legends of poker together and let us listen in on their table talk. It doesn't happen often enough these days as all of the poker companies have locked up their champions to their brand. The business of poker has lost the plot.
Class act. Respect ✊
$98,000!!!!! In the freakin 1970s omfg
Great interview. It's fascinating when he said he never knew who the president was for 20 years, I wish I could detach myself from the ugly realty of the world we live in today.
Nah man... that's not a very healthy life. That's a complete degenerate lifestyle who lived life very fast. He probably wasnt enjoying life much at that time... I dont know how you can having to grind like that, that you don't know anything that's going on outside those casino doors for 20 years... maybe I'm wrong 🤣🤣
He's still a legend and sounds very humble these days
at what time does he talk about stu?
Playing poker for 45 years...I wanted to go pro in Holdem but...it's a lot easier being a building contractor...:) ...
Now I understand all these degenerates like Phil Ivey and Negreanu and their liking of golf.
thank you for posting
Aunty Chardonnay with the fire interview.This was amazing insight into how to maintain longevity in poker. I’ll remember many of these tips for the rest of my life. Thanks
