Tom »Durr« Dwan joins the Team Full Tilt

November 23, 2009 · Posted in Online poker rooms 

Tom »Durr« Dwan just joined the Team Full Tilt! Pretty amazing I would say, especially because the Full Tilt Poker is not accepting new members every day. The last member that joined this team was Patrick Antonius, which happened in June 2008.

I have been watching Tom Dwan’s poker game on various TV shows (High Stakes Poker, Million Dollar Cash Game,…) for some time now, and I must say I am impressed with his poker skills!

In case you missed it out, I highly advice you watch those TV shows as you will learn a lot about NL Texas Holdem and poker in general!

What do I like the most in his game? Well, one thing I like the most about Durr is his aggressive style of poker. You will see him raising, reraising, bluffing and otherwise putting a pressure on his opponents on regular basis. He simply does not let them breathe while they are in the pot with him.

The other thing I like about Durr (this is also connected with the first one) is his ability to play any two cards at any time. He is mixing up his poker game so much that even the best poker pros hardly put him on a hand!

Therefore he will oftentimes get called when holding the nuts, but will also make his opponents fold the best hand, when bluffing.

An example of how Tom “Durr” Dwan plays poker

To give you an example of how Tom Dwan plays poker watch this hand he played against Howard Lederer:

Considering the fact that Howard Lederer is a tight poker player, that kind of play against him is especially interesting. I guess it is true about what they say: There is a thin line between Genius and Madness.

Another interesting thing about Dwan is the fact that he started his poker career and become famous by playing poker online! His nickname is “Durr”.

Only after establishing his reputation online, he began to play live poker game with the best players as well. Anyways, I think that Tom »Durr« Dwan is a nice addition to the Team Full Tilt.

What do you think about Durr? Do you like his style of poker or not? Have you seen him playing on Full Tilt Poker already? Tell us about it in comments please!

  • In case Lederer would go all in preflop, then Dwan would possibly look like a donk in that situation. But the hand was played in different manner, so I donno. As I said, thin line between genius and a madman..

    I have to agree with you on the variance part though..such moves can blow up your profits pretty quickly if unsuccessful..

    8 6 os Aside from the mega betting, isn't this just a standard donk play?
    Doesn't that kind of play create a huge bankroll variance for Dwan?
