Tom Dwan - the missing man
How convenient is it that he just falls off the face of the earth after issuing and bailing half way through a 50k hand
It can be very difficult for someone who has been successful to accept that the person who has been steering the wheel is now the problem and must move to the passenger seat.
On a recent cash game stream JRB mentioned years ago at Aria there were Sky high cash games between "Dwan and Bobby Baldwin". Did Dwan win in those games?
PJust saying that, if a guy who frequently has big money on him starts acting crazy and says someone put something in his drink, my first thought would be "somebody put something in his drink" not "sudden onset of severe mental illness in a late 30s guy who has never shown symptoms of it before."
That’s certainly an opinion, and you’re entitled to it, but so are flat-earthers.
Dwan has shown many signs of mental illness the last 5 years.He tried to regain the spotlight again as some sort of enlightened grifter during COVID. Many people were speculating he was off his mind on drugs but my assumption is more along the lines of the stresses of his lifestyle have broken his brain. If the stories are even half true hes been broke-rich bouncing from spon
I think it’s a combination of lifestyle and a genetic predisposition. Something triggered this breakdown, and it wasn’t someone slipping him a Mickey or Devil’s Breath (lol) on an airplane.
Hard agree with the above. This forum has an abysmal track record regarding how it addresses issues related to mental health. Do better. Let him recover in peace.
He’s a public poker figure and this is News, Views, and Gossip..what do you expect?
I think what happened is he goes on these meth binges then sleeps it off during his long flights. Looks like he was on a flight to london but maybe this time he wasn't able to sleep it off. Or maybe he was going to sleep on flight to hustler but london authories flagged him.
Dwan is a Chinese mafia muppet. He's a toy. Dance white boy, dance.
Is Jason Mo, legit? Like is there documented proof he's successful in life, e.g. married, kids going to private schools, went to a good college, doesn't have a mortgage at his age, vacation home, or whatever benchmark someone wants to use? Maybe he can back up his schtick, without some ridiculous bet-challenge. I have no idea. I'm all for the massive in your face balls out troll, a la Elon, but it needs to be backed up with documented success.
I almost used his service to get discounted business class tickets once, and it seemed like he violated terms of FF miles to buy tickets from other people's accounts who would sell.
Not unexpected considering he's laser focused on calling out others. Pots generally call kettles.
Huge Tom fan, though.
That post was from March, 2024, after the Jensen debacle. This meltdown has been predictable to anyone who’s come across any of Tom’s interviews, or seen his tweets (especially recently, not past 3 days, but post election). Given the number of people who have reached out to him and spoken up about his current situation, I’m hopeful that he’ll have a bett
Going back, finding, and then quoting your own post from 14 months ago to prove that you were right all along about the mental health of someone you don't know has to be the most love-the-smell-of-your-own-fart **** in the history of this entire website.
You writing it and hitting post:

Oh yes, here it is. After Gman’s compelling ‘report’ on his proof of the HCL cheating scam:

Let it go Gazzy. Sorry I made you look stupid 3 years ago, but me pointing out Tom’s shown signs of delusion for awhile is kinda relevant given half the ppl seem to think he got the Devil’s Dandruff on an airplane.
Some commonalities between threads now that I think about it…
Considering the enormous volume of my posts in this thread (and this site in the past year) I was lucky to have found it so quickly. But it’s just a credit to my ability to ‘sniff’ out the truth….
As an aside. I was surprised by Tom's use of primarily british words in his tweet rants. Do Americans normally use the word "muppet" as an insult? Thats a word you see a lot on British forums (like Premier League related forums) but not so much on American ones. And the football (soccer for Americans) word "offside" to describe someone doing something out of line?
Has Tom spent significant time in the UK over the last years?

Linguists, love that.
he needs a bible and read matthew 10:28.
and fear not them that kill the body but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
No paranoia if you dont fear being drugged. Just take all their drugs. ive had 6 stints in mental hosptials and i know how it works. comply to their meds see doc and get out and see another doc.
Evil stuff is going on but no use talking about that to anyone unless you got evidence and your not getting any evidence inside a hospital.
The **** are you talking about? The word conspiracy was invented by the CIA? Lol, blatant misinformation.How about posters be careful about speculating about Tom and his mental state instead. That **** causes real harm.The poker news reporter had it right. He is in the best place he could be right now. How about we show Tom some love and support right now? If you aren't capable
Dude you should put yourself back in place.
Go and read through my posting again instead of flying over it and misinterpreting everything!
I am trying to protect Tom by reminding the people that use the term (conspiracy theorist) against him, that they should be more thoughtful when using fighting terms that have been invented by the CIA.
Search for: CIA-Document #1035-960
And yes I know that the word has been used in some literature before the document was released, but the CIA did push it into mainstream and used it as a fighting term.
And it is still used today by morons when their brains reach edges that will not let them connect dots based on empiric data. Which is a way to get to undeniable truth btw.
All i can say is i believe him i have researched these happenings that Tom has talked about and they all say the same things that Tom has said what are the odds that all crazy people would say the same things after he was making tweets about people in high power. You are all supposed to be poker players so tell me what are the odds? And again i have researched and come across the same situations and i mean the same situations that Tom said happened and they all say it was people in high power and they were communicating on either social media against these people in high power or communicating with them in some manner where the people in high power would hear...think before you call someone crazy or manic...That said i know the person/s that have said such have a good heart and meant well but think first 😀
Although the guy you quoted is generally correct regarding the timeline for schizophrenia, late-onset schizophrenia is a thing
Yes, and someone close to me developed it in their mid-forties. Did have mental health issues before that, but nothing relating to delusions, and the way Dwan tweets is reminiscent of how they talk.
Data point: my friend also got very, very into shrooms for a year or two before the paranoid delusions started to come to the fore, and he took just a metric ****ton of them in that time.
If this is due to debts he owes people.. then he needs to get over it now tbh
The man can’t beat the game any more
Imo. So those debts are never going to get repaid. In the normal world he wills just have to declare bankruptcy at this point. But I don’t know what happens in the poker world.
Also.. as we’ve all seen from Dwan now,
I wouldn’t put it past him for it all to be a big act. To buy him more time, or get sympathy or whatever
Fascinating. If you don’t mind indulging me, could you elaborate a bit:
All i can say is i believe him i have researched these happenings that Tom has talked about
What happenings, specifically? What research, specifically, have you done?
..
what are the odds that all CRAZY PEOPLE would say the same things after he was making tweets about people in high power.
Ignoring the unintentional comedy of the bolded, please share these specific tweets. I’m assuming you think they’re indicting, or revealing? I’ve DM’d with Tom on Twitter when I called him out for being gratuitously generous with his interpretations of the new administration’s policies, whilst ostensibly trying to persuade them to change course, thinking he could (a sign of delusion imo).
He basically said that he agreed with me, but there was also some bizarre and vague rationale as to why he had to ‘play it that way’
And again i have researched and come across the same situations and i mean the same situations that Tom said happened
What situations?
What have you researched and what did that research consist of? How long have you been studying…’this’?
they all say it was people in high power and they were communicating on either social media against these people in high power or communicating with them in some manner where the people in high power would hear
What did Tom say that was so dangerous? That people in power were afraid of? Are you at all familiar with social media?
What about the real critics of these ‘powerful people’ (I assume you mean politicians, but correct me if I’m wrong) who have actual reach? The podcasters, newspeople, authors, etc. Do you think Tom’s influence is more dangerous than theirs? What other critics of these dangerous people have been institutionalized to silence them?
think before you call someone crazy or manic
You’re crazy if you think people in power view Tom Dwan, poker degen, as a threat to them.
I’m glad that Tom is under supervision, and I hope he gets the help he so clearly needs

Pretty absurd to think this is some act, and that if it were, that he would think his creditors would just say ‘oh, jeez, forget the millions, he’s sick’
Bro, haven’t you done your research and looked up that CIA document that poster totally found on his own? WAKE UP!!
Once Tom’s tests come back it’ll become clear he was dosed with an obscure south American drug on a plane…just wait.
That is…unless the CIA has already covered their tracks
