according to previous comments from Cates, part of that debt has been paid. But there's still a significant amount of money he believes he deserves from his heads up opponent, and he's criticized Dwan publicly multiple times in the past. On Friday, however, he had a different...
Tom Dwan should be remembered only as a guy who played high stakes, did about average for a HS pro during the poker boom by making ~400-500k year, and then blew all his money to poker GOATs and got addicted to drugs in Chinese private games. Quote ...
getting backed by HCL so they promote their streams and include the name Tom Dwan in the titles. Personally, I started watching only the HCL streams when Dwan appeared cuz the other players didn't interest me that much but now even Dwan is not enough to make up for how boring and a ...
Dwan, one of the most popular poker players ever, is always a draw on any livestream. But his appearance in the upcoming $1 million games seemed a bit unlikely a month ago when he was accused byPeter Jettenof refusing to pay back an old six-figure debt. Dwan appeared on thePokerNews...
Even if it was strictly stipulated, I think the right thing to do is to just to forgive the debt at that point. If Dwan offered a "fully backed" staking arrangement where he would incur all the losses if Jetten lost, then I can see where Jetten is coming from in still expecting the...
Dwan has had years to pay the debt. Polk is brave for doing this as Dwan has alot of connections and he has clearly been mostly scamming guys who he thinks is low risk of anything happening to him although I would be surprised if Trueteller doesn’t have any connections to russian mafi...
Dwan doesn't pay this debt and is continuously stalling for time. This slow pay, no pay has now been going on for years with Jetten getting frustrating and not going public. Until just recently Jetten gives up on being nice (it's been years) and goes public. Now Dwan gets all pissed...
Dwan is a different person now .. he's been through more than most. 'Young Dwan' would've snap shoved, no doubt. There's no filter, no previous reps, nothing to work over all the data in your head when you're new to poker. 'Whatever, I'll reload' I don't think was an opt...
Nobody is trying to say Tom doesn't technically owe the money, just that its a real c*nty thing to expect a friend to pay out in this situation after losing 1.6m of their money (if the story is true which it easily could not be) Would it be ***y of dwan to collect 1.5 m...
I think Dwan looks scummy for a lot of different things. but if what he said about the stuff with Jetten is also true then Jetten looks scummy on that. That's how staking deals work. They carry risk for the backer. In compensation for that risk, the backer gets a large percentage of...
