I'm not here to convince people like scalabrine that the planet earth is round,,,if he is sure of it being flat, no one will be able to convince him otherwise.
However, regarding Dwan's swings, up down whatever, losing/winning vs Phil Ivey or whomever, it is simply publicity the full tilt poker world wants to spin, and is simply that. Spin. Full tilt wants desperately to regain their place in the online poker world, and need to regain the trust of "the average joe",,,, if anyone believes that Durr is really winning and losing over 7 figures of real currency over the past 48hours, well, I have beautiful piece of beachside properties at both the north and south poles I'd love to sell you
You are a bizarre individual, and your lead in to paint me as the ignorant and oblivious one is truly precious.
So Full Tilt gets brought down by the Fed for functioning as a Ponzi scheme because they didn't have players winnings segregated appropriately.
Today, Full Tilt is purchased and operating legally outside of the US and you are alleging that the dollar amounts you see in that pic are simply play money to garner the attention of railbirds to make them join the site and start contributing to the overall rake. Nothing like Tom Dwan and his massive swings to get the microstakes players gambling juices flowing.
So far you have alleged, without proof, that:
1) TV poker games are rigged, as in, 'hot decks' are being used for big showdowns to make for good TV.
2) The new Full Tilt is actually allowing Dwan to play on a real money table with $1.2 in 'play money' when they are conducting business perfectly legally and have nothing to fear with regards to any government shutdown.
Please TELL ME MORE. You are really on a roll here!!!

I hate when people make conspiracy theories with little or no evidence. It seems to just feed their creativity but a lot of times isn't very logical.
Why is Tom Dwan not winning/playing with this money? It's probably because everyone in this thread doesn't have that money so they can't fathom that it actually happens.

Tom Dwan is playing with play money here, it's not his money, he's merely a pawn used to lure people in. It gives the average person a sense of hope, it makes them start thinking, "if he can do it, so can I," but reality is 99.99% of people can't and won't make a living playing poker. The way they marketed poker in the 2000's was genius, and both online and land casino's are absolutely elated because of this. The juice is massive in poker, especially online poker. The amount of rake they can snatch from gullible fools is actually quite impressive, it's literally like stealing money from people.

Anyone who thinks that's real money is a complete moron lol. I thought everyone knew it was fake dollar figures..guess not
Really? And where's your link as proof? Where's even hearsay by any high stakes player outing the online scam that are the high stakes tables as they get your gambling blood boiling so they can take your rake at micro stakes games (the REAL purpose)?
Because when the Fed seized $3 BILLION in assets from Stars and Tilt and $500 MILLION in player account balances, that wasn't real money right? No that was the aggregate balances of the average 2/4 limit and 1/2 no limit player. None of that belonged to Dwan or Antonious or Ivey right? Of course not. Theirs was all play money and ours was real! Or is the Fed lying too about the amount of the assets?
Come back with some links. I'll wait here...

I saw him lose 250k at Valley Forge Casino in PA the other day.
Well, I saw him playing and my friend is a dealer there and told he he busted 250k
He has some huge swings that's for sure. 250k is pretty tough to drop one tabling live unless he got a cooler and it was a NL game. He lost 900k one night this week on Tilt...
