Tom Dwan will be here in 5,15 and even 50 years...IF he doesn't get bored with poker...and of course, the online stakes $500/$1000 NL he plays in can bust the BIGGEST pro with the BIGGEST bankroll...that still doesn't take away from the fact he may be the most creative poker player since Stu Unger to grace the felt

just a pleasure to watch in action...

hellmuth has really only had one great HSP moment...and the pot wasn't even near the size of the pots Dwan and Ivey get involved in...still one of the best HSP moments though given it shut up "the Mouth"

tom dwan will be here in 5 years

first, i believe that being part of "team full tilt" gets you a share in the company

second, even if he does go bust, people will be knocking each other over to stake the guy

oh yes he is...when he sits at a table with 8 other top pros, he is always the 9th best...over time, you lose everything if you consistently sit in that game.

i have seen all of the high stakesshowsthrough the years, and Hellmuth has done well in many of the seasons. Also , as far as "top pros" go, who is a top pro? Ivey, Brunson, Greenstein, for sure, but is Matasow, Farha, Negreanu a top cash no-limit pro? Not really. Negreanu is a great player, but better in tourneys IMO. He has really gotten his ass kicked in some of the shows. Farha is a degenerate gambler, so are some of the other "pros" onthe show. Matasow is generally a broke dick.
