    The last few years for Dwan have been shit. Black Friday (he probably wishes he could go back to online poker), Durrrr Challenge fell apart, his dad is sick, debts, obvious sleep deprivation... what a tragedy.

    so true

    go to a 40$ buy in 1/2 table at any of the CA poker clubs and you'll see dudes who make homeless people seem dignified

    Even bus riding bald fuks who cap 30% on the best week look down on the poor card player

    Not you Angler just the other ones

    I actually like degenerates ergo why I used to frequent Hollywood Park casino and track. It's a little sick though watching dudes scrape together twenty bucks in 5's and 1's to rebuy short at a 40$ table.

    A lot of stories out there:
    * Did Dwan lose a good bit of $$ betting-sports?
    * Did Dwan lose $$ in the Asian-poker game? He always bets like a maniac.
    * Pretty well documented that Jungelman took him for good chunk of $$ in Heads-up poker game. Dwan never completed the challenge, I guess he felt that meant he didn't owe.

    It really is amazing. They'd rather run a sick bluff to the nth degree, than take responsibility for their $$.

    Article out there that Eli Elezra is busto, too. If u watch the old videos, he really wasn't very good.

    Once you try to go out on the tournament circuit and enter in the realm of constantly being staked and borrowing and all of the other avenues to play you're toast in the long run. Best option is just to stick to cash games and take some time off now and then. Poker drains you guys.

    Rockles I haven't been to HP in a few years although a buddy of mine always plays that tourney and keeps bugging me to go. I only play live poker a few times a year anymore. Hell I only play online poker (other than SBR) a few times a year.
