Caught a bit of poker last night on Channel 4.
Am I alone in thinking that every time Tom Dwan gets involved in a pot he takes forever and looks like he is going to pass out? Especially on that opening (rigged) first hand v Hellmuth, (where he flops a boat and Hellmuth lays down a flush on the river). Lol.
Am I alone in thinking his style is a little 'off the wall'?
Don't know why I found it so entertaining. Most TV poker is like watching paint dry.

can you spot his tell? It' so obvious that I'm sure it'e done to tell the other players when he's bluffing, drawing or hit
Althoug it's not as bad as that bloke in the stripey jumpers at luton.

Arrogance is a very very ugly trait.

Who is he playing first in his challenge? He lost over 1 Million over the last 2 days.

I can't really understand why such a significant dislike for a guy can build up over the course of a few tv appearances and magazine interviews. He is probably the most hyped new player since Phil Ivey, this of course brings pressure. To me he seems uncomfortable infront of the cameras at the moment rather than arrogant or aloof. Small sample size at the moment obviously but he seems like a sound enough guy to me.

My opinion does not so much come from his attitude or face at the table (which is disturbing initself), but from the actual words spoken from his mouth at pre game interview.
Also looking like dracula's great grandson doesn't help him much. Oh and the appearance of impending puking during every slowly thought out bet or raise (apart from the "all in" which he does rather quickly). It just all adds up to annoying geek.
BUT...........I'd would rather watch him and his "interesting" moves than have to ever listen to Helmuth's voice ever again.

lol nail on head maria. You should watch the latest poker after Dark's where Corey Zeidman needles Phil so much he donks off his whole stack. |
