Tom Dwan on Transitioning to Offline Poker, Macau Games, and High Stakes Poker


Tom Dwan has been a guest on the 27th episode of a podcast, where he discussed his transition to offline poker, his experiences in Macau, and the new season of High Stakes Poker.

Dwan played poker every day during the filming of the new season of High Stakes Poker, which features Phil Ivey. The new season of High Stakes Poker is set to premiere on December 16, 2020, with commentary by Gabe Kaplan and A.J. Benza.

Dwan mentioned that he was stronger than his opponents in the beginning of his poker career. He discussed his first meeting with Phil Galfond at PCA, where he approached Galfond and introduced himself as 'durrrr'. Dwan also mentioned that he was one of the first to transition from online to high-stakes live poker, giving him a significant advantage in understanding strategy and basic concepts.

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.
