Daniel Negreanu Spills the Beans on Tom Dwan's Poker Career


Daniel Negreanu created a project on his forum where he answered questions about his poker colleagues, starting with Tom Dwan. The Q&A session covered various aspects of Dwan's career, including his bankroll, betting strategies, and live game decisions.

Tom Dwan signed a contract with Full Tilt Poker, which is expected to increase his focus on tournaments. Negreanu and Dwan had a bet where Negreanu bet 400K and Dwan bet 200K on Dwan winning a WSOP bracelet. Dwan's maximum bankroll in his career reached 8-10 million dollars, but he had a tough year.

One of the notable points discussed was Dwan's tendency to take a long time to make decisions in live games, which can be frustrating for opponents. Despite this, Dwan is known for his strong bet sizing and post-flop play. However, his pre-flop play often raises questions. Dwan's nickname 'durrrr' was chosen to annoy opponents when they lose, adding to his unique persona in the poker world.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
