   Who is Tom Dwan?

Tom Dwan A.K.A. Durrrr is one of the most well known online poker pros. He plays in the biggest NL and PLO cash games online against seasoned pros, like Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen. He’s most well known from his online name, ‘Durrrr’, because he’s not old enough to make a name for himself live as Tom Dwan.

Durrrr started playing $6 sit and gos online and worked his way up from there. His biggest win to date in a single cash game session is over $500,000. He attributes reaching the stakes he plays today from a combination of luck, skill, and easy opponents.

Durrrr’s best game is No limit holdem, but he also plays a lot of pot limit omaha, because he says most players are clueless in that game. He’s also big into multi-tabling, usually running 8 or more tables at once across multiple poker sites.

Durrrr currently lives in a house he owns with Raptor517, paid for with poker winnings. They have nice cars, plasma screen TV’s everywhere, and lots of expensive toys. It’s the ultimate bachelor pad. Here’s some photos of the famous RapDurrrr house:
