Nothing can stop Dwyte Pilgrim 3 WSOP rings in a year - Page 3 - Poker News

i'll take this guys results anyday...seems kinda like a good move to play all these smaller buy in circuit events in these out of the way casinos for an up and coming pro or amatuer to build a roll and gain live experiance against prolly less than stellar comp.

seems shady if what the dealer said was true. chopping money and even including who gets the ring seems fine, but they ought to still play (without chip dumping) to determine "official" winner.

afaik the whole "have someone as the winner" in a chop bit is standard practice so doesnt really bother me, i just think its a little LOL that someone got the "victory" and someone got the ring.

maybe in a bellagio tournament i'd take the watch, but a circuit ring? lolll ok

if this is referring to me then im not ripping on him, i didnt even know who i was before this thread.

i just do know that live tournament players have a tendency to go 'omg he ran good for a couple of months best player ever' and its pretty silly.

but yeah if those are actually his buyins and results thats certainly impressive, and he probably at the very least is a decent player, but lets reevaluate in a few years.

I am a WSOP/C dealer and I can say without any hesitation that Dwyte is a funny guy and often has had people made look foolish at the table. He is one of the good ones... I'll deal to him anytime.

Congrats to him

He dominated prelim events at the WPT in Biloxi, 3 or 4 final tables and 2 wins. He had the largest chip lead at a final table that I've ever seen.

He's a genuinly nice guy who hasn't been playing that long, and won't be fading away anytime soon. Just wish I knew his secret.

i'm almost sure they were pitched forward and next to muck pile, and they were then retrieved so he could add info to his IN THIS GAME FOR LIFE DOG file.

---edit

yeah they were definitely mucked, then he wanted them exposed, then i asked him why, then the answer, and thennnn the floor came over cause mucking player protested.

sorry for incomplete story first time

So we know he's doing very well in tournaments, but does anyone have any knowledge if he has good cash play? Good online cash/tournement play?

All this pissing around wondering who should show first, and the subsequent bs , is so many orders of pathetic that i cant even think of a word to describe it.

Oh hold on, Kesslerlike?

The easiest solution: you as a third-party player say, "Dealer, I'd like to see both hands, please." Then they can hang on to them for as long as they want, but you're de-incentivizing their doing so.

Once the other player says "you win" why would you care about showing your hand or not? Unless its an absolutely insane angle shoot where he is planning on showing the nuts and laughing at you then he is basically just going to see any pair and then muck his jack high. What is wrong with that?

The bettor is like, "i've got nothing, you win" and pilgrim insists on seeing his hand

so i piped in, "dude, he's got a missed draw with no highcard, you win, you caught a bluff, what is there to see?"

i'm paraphrasing what his response was to me, but it was this douchey, i swear.

"i want to see his hand cause i can learn something from every hand. I'M IN THIS GAME FOR LIFE DOG AND IT ALL ADDS UP"

he definitely referred to me as dog and eventually got the floor to table the dude's j8 airball high.

%#$^$#^$@#^$#^ Run better.

Funny that you consider his response douchey when he would have been totally justified in responding "Go **** yourself, mind your own business."

Don't know anything about his cash game skills, he did say that's how he came up in the northeast tho.

As for his online play, after much trash-talking, he finally convinced me to play him HU on tilt. We two-tabled $100's & $200's. Though Dwyte was fortunate enough to win several matches (coinflips for stacks ftw), on the whole he was kind enough to donate a bit to my college fund.

I told him not to embarrass himself b/c I might post it on 2+2. He held his own for the most part, so I'll hang on to the HH's for now.

I tend to agree with this & the most important part is that he seems committed to putting in the time to figure out the online game as well

(or at least that's what he said to me in rincon)
