Man O man, someone needs to spend about a thousand hours with this man on camera interviewing him and getting all of the stories and history recorded before it's lost forever. He is living history, that needs to be preserved.

[@andylymbo]

Tomko never got the spotlight he deserved. The man got 2nd place in the main event twice and has won 3 bracelets.

[@donaldcedar7574]

You ganna pay for it?

[@flelite3994]

💯

[@planetmaxwell01]

you should go to facebook look up Real Grinders and join. youll see some poker history posts there.

[@TiffMcGiff]

Whoa whoa buddy. I think 100 hours is plenty.

[@Pumalate77]

What a humble and wise man. Sounds like a genuine good dude

[@wstanton72]

I had the privilege of meeting Dewey Tomko one morning when we were both eating breakfast in Binion’s coffee shop during a WSOP... He was an exceptionally gracious person, and I was the better for having met him.. 🤓🙂

[@rickjames4406]

This was one of the greatest poker interviews of all time

[@jackk7827]

Dewey T is a nice guy. I met him in a casino in Costa Rica a number of years ago, I was smart enough to NOT play poker with him, and he was nice enough to set our group with local people that made our fishing trip to Quepos great! If you read this Dewey... THANKS AGAIN! JACK

[@charlesfoutch1132]

I'd love to play poker with him.

[@JC_123_]

We have millions of hours of Spraggy on audio. We need more of guys like Dewey.

[@marionrees4659]

agreed, but spraggy rocks too.

[@roberttrovato6314]

He was a teacher that supplement his income by playing poker now poker players teach to supplement their poker

[@BREAKocean]

Don't even play poker well at all, but I can listen to this guy talking about the interesting history he was apart of.

[@Hairyskinback]

Loved this. More quality interviews like this would be great. The interviewer was very good. Let him talk and didn't interrupt just so they could be heard. I love listening to the guys of this era talking about the game that has been their life.

[@spearson103]

I like how he seems to regard bankers, hitmen, and robbers as in the same class of lowlife

[@xDubstepify]

he said "i've played with hitmen, bank robbers etc."

[@jefferyharper5720]

Because gamblers live a great life. Psychopaths, addicts, etc.

[@dannyshorvoyce4456]

@@jefferyharper5720 good point

[@pillwolak]

Its because they are all the same, they're all in bed together

[@TheDesperateArtist]

"Don't be 'just good' in poker. Learn how to WIN in the game" Best poker advise ever...

[@Jeremy_the_bot]

He is saying dont worry about being a great player. Just figure out how to win in your game.

[@BluffytheVamp]

Find the Lord was the best advice

[@fuzzyflick9905]

I thought it was GENIUS

[@A_Charles]

I'm really glad I watched this... I could listen to his stories all night. More interviews with Dewey!

[@georgeheridis7973]

Could you imagine having dinner or a few drinks with this guy? I'd just shut up and listen to Mr. Tomko for hours.

[@robertwilkinson8421]

I'm glad that I found this interview. Listening to a Legend talk about Playing Poker and what is needed to Survive as a Player is Priceless. Dewey Tomko covers a lot of territory in this Interview and hits a lot of key Points that are required to be a Survivor and what He says about the Discipline needed is something that is required in most aspects of everyday life as well as in a Poker game. Thanks for sharing this Video.

[@wrisky]

I can back up Dewey regarding Chip Reese. I was dealing top at The Bicycle Club in '89. Chip was playing 1K/2k limit HE & luck was not with him. During my 1/2 hour he lost 200k and you could never tell, he was that professional. I went through that table again a few hrs later & he actually tipped me on a hand he won. You could tell the players that had some class & he was one.

[@johnreape2833]

Chip Reese was the best player of his generation, and most likely the best all-around player of all time.

[@TomH...]

I play some at Orange City Card room and have met Mr. Tomko. It's said he's very down to earth, and I would agree, spoke with him once at the Card room. The man is a legend.

[@anthonycarchidi578]

Need more videos like this I could listen for hours

[@FunDumb]

I wish I could tell stories like the old timers. Nothing but respect and love!

[@dorianedwards8522]

If Stuey had never found cocaine and never sat down at a sports book he would be the richest greatest card player that ever sat at a table. And he will always be the GOAT playing gin rummy. Ever ever ever!

[@JayAr709]

Tough to contradict.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Perhaps, but those are some pretty massive ifs. Personally, I don't think Stuey could have been saved. He was bound to be destroyed by his own hunger for challenges. If not cocaine, he would have found something else. Just my two cents.

[@officialghetty]

@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid 100%

[@Mike-lp4iq]

I believe in time even for 16 years he went crazy and didn't play stayed away from things you mentioned I believe in time holdem would have ended up drying up for him seemed he got better and better every year he played a game it was unbelievable this world will never ever see it again

[@paulwaldeck8974]

Great vid! I love to hear these old stories and the wisdom.

[@transportman3498]

I see Dewey in Orange City all the time. He'll always greet anyone that greets him. The guy is very well grounded and is a great poker player. Here's a guy you can definitely take advice from.

[@DeathblowMateria]

Never seen this, probably the most interesting poker interview I can remember. Legend

[@rockybullshite927]

Check out the Amarillo slim documentary if you haven't already

[@jbyesterday3959]

Stories & personal experiences shared here are truly game changing eye openers. You don’t even have to be a poker player or a golfer to come away with how any obsession can create & dominate one negatively without discipline, family & faith. Great interview !

[@ronbutcher9412]

I always admired Dewey.....after this interview, I admire him even more. I never realized our hometowns were a few miles apart...I'd love to meet him and talk about the old Mon Valley.

[@chrish6659]

Fantastic interview, real down to earth perspective. Nothing fancy, just a good old chat.

[@barthk3640]

Great interview, of a TRUE legend of the game!!

[@sciencenate]

This guy is such a legend. Old people are like that - unassuming, and experienced. Don’t let them fool you.

[@acegibson9533]

Nice guy and a gentlemen. In the 1990's i stayed away from him. Don't let the nice guy thing fool you. At the tables and the golf course, Dewey qualifies as an assassin.

[@richardfurlott4243]

Old people can teach you a lot ! Especially in gaming ( if they do it ) .

[@JohnSmith-su3ze]

Incredible interview. We need to capture all these old time stories while the last half a dozen of these old timers are still around

[@captainc2262]

three bracelets, finishing second in the main event twice...1982 to Jack Straus and 19 YEARS LATER AGAIN to Carlos Mortensen in 2001...and many many many more results...a true poker legend and the stories are very interesting as well...

[@chesterpuffington8368]

By far the best poker video I have ever watched. So much wisdom given.

[@ElonMuckX]

These are the stories that I like, passing down knowledge and memories:)

[@spencerwinston4334]

Navy Seals and Top Gun fighters alike salute you Doyle for your grand legacy doing battle in the poker ring with Emersonian self-reliance and Special Forces warrior instinct, distinguished class, first-class professionalism, honesty of the highest order, and Texas dusty long-road grit. You are a true "road scholar" in pursuing truth and mastery in poker excellence, like a Texas beagle picking up the scent in pursuit, as well as a builder of sorts-- building the game through international bridges of friendship and bonds between players around the world. From the smokey back rooms of Texas poker games of old, you brought the game to the leading edge of game theory and computer analytics. Doyle, rest in peace in the halls of poker Valhalla with your fellow poker brother in arms like poker legend Chip Reese. You highlighted, in your "road scholar" journey, how the truth can set us all free not just in the poker realm in the big game at Bobby's, but sublimely more importantly in the bigger poker game of life. For a poker legend of your grand influence, you deserve a WSOP poker ring attached to your coffin much as is done in Navy Seal tradition at a funeral. You promoted truth and friendship for all around the world with the game of poker as the bridge of convergence. In the end, truth and love prevail amidst the drama and challenges of the beautiful game of high stakes Texas NL poker as well as in the bigger poker game of life. The heart-wrenching sight of a flag-draped coffin is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice that brave men make every day to protect our country. But what is the significance behind the Navy SEALs slamming a metal insignia on the fallen soldier’s coffin? This action is a final tribute to the fallen service member and a show of respect to the fallen soldier’s family. It is a sign of honor, of appreciation, and of love that is paid to the fallen service member. It is an action that speaks to the commitment and sacrifice of our servicemen, and a symbol of the respect that the Navy SEALs have for their fallen comrade.

[@DeMichelePoker]

Hey God bless ya Dewey. I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. Good stories.

[@paulmaier6305]

BEST interview EVER!!! i forwarded this to every poker player i know.

I’ll never understand why people feel the need to share everything they come across. It’s really an absurd age we’re living in.

[@stevehammond9916]

Mr. Tomko has always seemed to be a true gentleman and it was a pleasure to sit , watch and listen to his words of the " Ol' Times " as well as his words of wisdom .

[@kevingamblesonlife9999]

Dewey is right. Even when I started playing poker back in the 90's it was totally different. So much fun. Characters that you knew. Now it's just annoying most of the time. I was a grinder. 18 year old playing the L.A. circuits until I moved to Vegas. Pre Rounders/Moneymaker. Good ol' days.

[@gscgold]

I miss the 00's poker was a lot different then... it seems like it was yesterday Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker but it was 20 years ago

[@dustin9106]

Poker will always be dingy to some extent sadly

[@jimmarshall5453]

That's one of it's appeals to many. Bad but not usually TOO bad. I once played in a regular game with a nice old man who was cheating by using a card holdout gizmo week after week. The game caught him on a night I wasn't there, and it made me wonder how I ever won any hands from him, but I guess he only used it selectively on big hands.

Thanks Dewey for taking the time. The first televised poker event I ever watched was the 01 main event coverage where you finished 2nd to Carlos. Hell, you guys were the last true renegades.....living it up outside the system, which is pretty much impossible now. Thanks for paving the way and showing us a life outside of the day to day is possible!

[@noelio67]

I love the honesty.... from Galway City

[@favor4afavor823]

Regarding moving up in stakes, he's absolutely correct. Master the game at low stakes and build enough of a bank roll that it's not going to change your game moving up in stakes. I wish I learned this lesson years earlier.

“I’d tell any poker player, find the Lord” Million Dollar advice from someone who knows how valuable it can be

[@lazywallstreetnews7234]

I live in Dallas and the stories he's telling are absolutely spot on. When you go into the poker rooms in Dallas now the old timers will tell you stories that sound unbelievable, but then you hear the same story at another club and it's like 🤔 maybe it's true. Benny Binion started out in Dallas before he went to Vegas and started the WSOP and he had literal killers on his payroll, so you never know what's exaggeration and what's true out here.
