The Amazing Tom “Durrr” Dwan

In March 2004 at the age of 17, Dwan began playing online poker at Paradise Poker with $50 his father had given him for his 17th birthday. He believed the alias durrrr would put players on tilt if they lost to him.

 

Dwan initially focused on $6 sit-and-go tournaments and ended up losing $35. With his last $15, he continued to focus on these sit-and-gos until he was able to turn profit. After finding he could beat these games, he turned to cash games where he built his bankroll starting at low stakes and slowly climbed his way to the largest games found online.

 

After beating multiplayer cash games, Dwan switched his focus to playing heads-up No Limit hold ‘em against other professionals such as Frederick Halling at the $10/$20 stakes level. He challenged Prahlad Friedman at $25/$50 stakes and lost to him for several months, forcing him to drop to lower stakes before coming back again and again until he was able to beat Friedman.

 

According to HighStakesDB.com, a site that tracks high-stakes online poker action, Dwan earned $312,000 on Full Tilt in 2007 and $5.41 million in 2008.
