    I had the good fortune of playing against Dwan in the summer of 2005 or 2006 on Full Tilt poker 2 tabling 6max while he was 12-16 tabling. He was one of the hardest players to play against because I had lots of trouble reading his hands and we rarely went to showdown because he was so aggressive. Every time I thought my hand was solid (top pair top kicker or better) he would just always have me beat. My AQ and QJ from late position always lost to his Q2 or J3. He’s a nightmare to play against. But this was right before his meteoric rise to high stakes. So I only got to play him a couple nights in a row and then he was gone to higher and higher stakes. We played at .25/.50 NL and by the end of the summer he was playing much higher, I think 5/10 or higher.

      Even if going to the turn pot was almost zero, he cant have more than 10% pot bet left behind. So how does he proceed to bet a sixth of the pot? bs.
      If it's your sickest bluff ever for this kind of money that you so clearly think directly of it when the question is asked, how you not gonna remember what happened pre and flop.
      He could have used some of that astronomical pot to pay his debts to other high stakes pros.

    Start investing in properties and businesses so that you’ll never go broke even when your poker career goes south. Look at shaq. Prime example.

    interviewer is quite a few layers below dwan's understanding of the game which makes it a little awkward

      I didn't get that vibe at all. Honestly it felt the other way around to me, where the host is much more analytical and has a strong memory, where Dwan is kind of just a master of on the spot decisions, and moves on to the next and doesn't really remember a lot.

      The fact you don't know his name shows your understanding is well below the viewer average.
