Tom Dwan - the missing man - Page 25 - Poker News

Yall know me, still the same TD, but I been low key
Hated on by most these bustos cuz I got no cheese
No mo hatin by Fees, car gone and no keys
No IDs and No Passp’s
Mad at me cuz I can finally afford the vig to Voulgarees
Got a basement with a ceiling full of tracks
Like Jesse in Breaking Bad perma-attached
Hanging up in the dungeon in back like WSOP b’s
Did y’all think I’m a let my dough freeze? Triad please!
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to click keys?
Who you think brought you the oldies
Phil Iveys, Junglemans, and Zigmunds, the Clay Aiken O-M-double-Gs
And the crew that said “Motha**** FTPz”
Gave you hand histories full of dope beats
To review when you uber through your hood
And when your rack back deal wasn’t doing too good
Who’s the degen they told you to go see?
Yall better read up closely
All you fish that said that I turned soft or cant hit a flop
Yall are the reason that Dean aint been getting no sleep
So **** y’all, all of y’all! If yall don’t like me, prop me!

A while ago a smart 20s kid could be super profitable compared to other fields, grind out the big $$$ and be mid 20s with huge amount of net worth compared to average worker.

Now, it would be stupid to put in the effort in online poker because for 99% of people you're never coming close to what you earn with that same work in other fields (unless you live somewhere with extremely low living costs and wages).

Add in bot rings, MA, rakeback cuts and it seems you'd have to be insane to try to become a poker pro in 2016. If someone wants it badly enough they can still get it but there's probably better things in life to have that level of passion about than a card game. To each his own though and no hate to anyone trying to make it in 2016, just GL x 100 cos u gonna need it.

This is just imo what poker looks like to the young kids trying to run up a bankroll in 2016. Mr Newey don't gotta worry bout this shizz though :P

What about live poker? Any money there? I am terrible live and have only been a handful of times but a lot of money gets thrown around at my local casino (Manchester, UK) and the cocky confident regs are like older mid 40's plus with a lot of money who are just absoltuely trash at poker but have a God complex. Like the most respected guy there the day i was got it in with me 240bb deep with MP vs my set and berrated me for the next 5 minutes for being ******ed for calling his 5bb open with a PP.

It's unavailable on some devices because YouTube detected the instrumental and Aftermath has monetized it.

Guy in our Live game other day said Tom lost a 20 million dollar pot set over set. Then an arguement ensued about how much his roll is.

RIP to Tom's dad though. sad.
