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
Bobby Fischer
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.
99% of U.S. poker players who would loan Dwan money would do absolutely nothing in the way of extra-legal collections because they are the most square people on the planet. They will go through their checklist of options and anything that could get them in trouble is absolutely dismissed. I feel like Dwan figured this out early in his career and thought "ok I've got a decent line of credit here and I never have to pay anything back". Taking that mentality overseas probably would have been a mistake if that is what has happened.
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
Has he ever appeared neurotypical to you? How hard would you laugh if you found out Tom Dwan announced he was going to pursue acting? I'm not trying to amateur diagnose the guy, but I will say that people who can't appear normal can't just choose to appear in some other state either, at least not convincingly.
So what happened ? Tom hasn't tweeted since Wed and all the people who said they were going to help him disappeared into the woodwork.
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 t
Hi Tom, glad to see you here

First, it's really none of our business, I understand that. But Tom did make a huge public deal about it.
That said, I fully expect zero closure. He'll just mysteriously say he'll address it soon, or he really can't say what happened because OSHA or something... He'll say later because there's still a lot of moving parts, etc

OSHA don’t **** around
A long time ago, Hellmuth said (about Tom Dwan) on tv something like "let's see where this guy is in ten years" implying supposed wunderkinds and idolized soup du jour high stake pros need to stand the test of time. Think it was during one of those HU tournaments on tv that used to run back in the day

NBC Heads up Tournament
Forgot deets of hand but think Dwan had three tens and ended up beating Hellmuth’s flush or something. He berated Dwan, Dwan said it was standard and challenged him to HU. Hellmuth said let’s see where he is in ten years. 2+2 fan boys rode the nuts hard.
Might have been 2009 or so
Thread title “Dwan missing man” was started in 2015. That suggests Hellmuth was right about him not being around.
Good luck

Pretty sure they went all in pre and Hellmuth lambasted Dwan for making that kind of play with just TT.
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.
In the defence of 2+2 this is the only forum where the immediate consensus was that this is a psychiatric episode, users on other "social medias" seemed to genuinely entertain the idea that he's been kidnapped by men in black, which risks worsening the delusions and worst of all: it's ridiculously stupid
I've looked into this and all I can say is there's some stuff that will surprise you. I probably shouldn't even say that much.
I wouldn't hold Hellmuth up as an exemplar of good mental health. Guy has a pathological case of narcissistic personality disorder.
This has been on Reddit all day, figured I'd put it here too
I mean, the situation seems... Not great, Bob
