Tom Dwan Gets Owned by Opponent Who Literally Tells him his Hand

Good vid. The "robbie's r@#!%ded cousin" line wasn't funny to me, but I have loved ones who are autistic. I cringed. You make good vids tho.

[@LS-fw6qm]

Not. Gonna Lie, I didn’t like Steve before -and the start of the night, by the end of the stream I was cheering for him 😂

[@AlexDuvall]

I feel like this was a lot of people’s thoughts

[@wendisuyantojulius4917]

Happened to me too

[@dammenheuser]

Steve is god.

[@hankchinaski4075]

I really like Steve. He was sarcastically taking the piss out of everyone at the table really dry humour I love it. He could be an honorary Brit .

[@dantaboo]

As a Las Vegas local, Steve absolutley remind me of one of those tourists that come into town on a business convention and play those 1-2 game just "for fun", talking to everyone and having unlimited cocktail drinks. Usually , they blow it all at the end but they sometimes have ridiculous run too. Steve is the absolute mirror image of these conventioneer / recreational poker players. Generally, they wear their tells on their sleeve but I can't imagine to these high-stake games, it's just weird and off-putting seeing this kind of playing style lol

[@johannessmithenstein]

Yeah you can find like half the people at the average 1-2 table at the south point or the bellagio are like this. they stack their chips in stacks of 60 and do these small donk bets at completely random times. It's incredibly tilting when you run bad against them. I never thought I'd see them on a show like this. Are we back in 2003?

Methinks the maroon is a loser in the long run.

[@hextremelydesirable1648]

whats steves youtube or last name so i can watch more

[@zacplumb]

J2 is now Steve’s signature hand lol

[@JMacSD]

I'm totally referring to J2 as "a Steve" from now on.

[@AlexDuvall]

He actually had another win with it too that I didn't include lol

[@xxChacaronXX]

Well.. what are ya waiting for buddy? Hah ;P

[@ZalexMusic]

Steve is poker

[@robertwallace5498]

Steve was really personable and fun to watch

[@itskmillz]

The irony is Tom is legendarily known for telling his opponent his opponent he had 72 only for his opponent to not believe him in one of the most incredible bluffs in poker history.

[@WXVA9]

I looked this guy up. He was a massively successful biglaw partner, and then he retired and became a judge in TRAFFIC COURT. Genuinely weird and interesting guy.

[@gophukyurselvs3621]

How Tom is still allowed to play when most of the time he owes at least three people at any given table he’s playing at about $1 million each

[@AusValue]

This is a lie made to slander his image. He is one of the richest in the poker community

[@雪底下]

@@AusValue cope?

[@AusValue]

@@雪底下 no im just sick of this misinformation

[@AlexDuvall]

Don’t think so 😬

[@That-Truck-Guy22]

I find it hard to believe that tom dwan one of the biggest names in poker would owe people money...he's made millions over the years 😂😂

[@Dustin_Platt]

13:09 _You said your boyfriend came in?_ *Ex-Wife* _Oh, same thing_ 😂

[@AlexDuvall]

Lol wat was even that convo

[@kevincrain7499]

Steve seems like he has so much money in the bank , he can afford to be the nicest guy who really doesn't care if he wins or not. It just seems like he enjoys just being around the boys having fun.

[@ericeclifford]

Hook got embarrassed that day, you know he will have nightmares for the rest of his life lol.

[@BarryDeiter]

Thomas mucked the winning hand (a straight) against kings.

[@RichardOwen-js6zp]

betting £1K is just checking - treat it as a check as thats all it is.

[@itskmillz]

Which, to be fair to Tom, he correctly did. Hard for him to feel like he is behind in that situation.

[@BBoySolidusSnake]

Yes I belive it's just a check. I met a player n he said nothing is free these days, so he always bet as a check. Steve does the exact same thing with his 1k bet, it's just a check, but sometimes it screws with people Minds, so it's a win win

[@Jivvi]

Just like when Viffer bet 400 on every street against Negreanu.

[@adragonro]

@Jivvi Viffer❤

[@adragonro]

Betting 1k is like an Allin😊

[@50Hudson]

Steve looks like Mr. Burns when he looks at his opponents. Especially at Hook with his “cramped” hand 🤣 🤣

[@draywharton4181]

Great video, Alex. I watched this 4-night stream and you captured some of Steve’s best moments.

[@AlexDuvall]

Thanks!

[@ShhooterMcGavin]

lol….being that bold and honest in poker throws everyone off at that level of play. I imagine players are 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th guessing their initial read causing their brains to scramble, making Steve completely unpredictable because of their own distrust! Genius strategy and definitely helps out bluffing down the road when you tell players what you have and then show them!

[@roussin_]

I'm glad you got him going hard on that Starbucks for the open

[@AlexDuvall]

😅

[@WRKellogg]

Thanks for pointing that out had to rewind freaking hilarious

[@nitthegrit7544]

My take: Steve's banter is totally OK when heads up. However, if you're in a multi-way pot, you need to SFTU about what you have, or about how you want the action to go... about all that. That crack he made with his 99 when he binked a set on the turn with 2 players in the hand was completely out of line.

[@TheDre2142]

I totally agree. but he seems so innocent that i give him a pass haha

[@jacobprudhomme]

I used this min bet super annoyingly after I saw this and it dominates. Lost value a couple times but it just adds this weird dynamic that people think about and it seems to take away from their more important thoughts or something. Like telling someone not to think about an elephant

[@kidc2004]

It's really bad poker. 👎 Enjoy betting 1% of the pot or less and not getting any value while you allow your opponents to suckout on you for practically free. It also allows anyone with a more marginal hand to raise and push you off a better hand. These tiny bets are incredibly weak from weak players and should always be raised for shits and giggles. Unless you just have a dog shit and want to call down what is basically a check

[@kidc2004]

@@cactiman yeah, I was exploited to top 300 in the world on Hendon mob.

[@Shabalalaaaa]

Sometimes being honest about your hand works in your favour. Good play

[@pyro3rg]

I love Steve! Everybody else is wearing all these sponsors and seeming very professional in the poker world. Steve rolls up looking like he is a suburban dad who went to mow the lawn and ended up at a poker tournament.

[@TravelPhillipines]

Love the staring at him and begging to drive for a little bit lol

[@advantager355]

Steve a refreshing new flavor that is stumping all these pros. Even got Durr wondering what’s up.

[@wernerostwald287]

This guy is so playing with there minds....love it!

[@thomastreadway3039]

It makes me happy that Dwan loves Steve. It's like he is always going to count him as a down ass dude.

[@Matt-yw9sw]

I can't tell if that's a continuation bet or? Calls....chop it up! 😂😂😂 this guy is hilarious all around

[@deaneng8540]

I think Steve is some multi multi millionaire that is just playing with pocket change and just out to have fun. He's entertaining at the very least IMHO.

[@PokerJeezus]

He's a former high profile litigation attorney that banked millions, then walked away to pursue his passion and much less money as a Judge

[@miketang8719]

I play similar to this because it’s just more comfortable to talk to people because it make them seem human and puts their guard down, also absolutely love the 1bb bet reminds me of viffer

[@jabman549]

it seems tom dwan genuinely likes this guy

[@pennyandluckpokerclub]

close your eyes and listen to Steve. ....this is Brain, from Pinky & the Brain.

[@BBoySolidusSnake]

Steve is just good at bluffing people by not betting, but his talking. When he got 7 at the turn, he said that it helped him, when it didn't at all. So hook thought he had trips 7.

[@Bullbearsaur]

If Tom Dwan worked out, saw the sun light and took his vitamins, we would call him Steve.

[@XzenoDaHero]

Steve has that F U money with the attitude of a great dude.

[@deaneng8540]

Yes, I wonder what he does for a living. He is probably making bank and just tossing around his $ like chump change.

[@lionrock2023]

this is a sign that tom has been dealing with too many liars.

[@SlotGenieOfficial]

Poker legend tom dwan in 50 years “the legend has it he died owing everybody money…”

[@AlexDuvall]

Hopefully paid by then lol

[@kdub9918]

I’ve watched too many poker hands on yt im too embarrassed to put a # on it but this is definitely an all-time favorite

[@AlexDuvall]

That's amazing to hear, thank you 🙏

[@NirvanaMK]

Hook is like a walmart version of Garret

[@typedrew]

What difference does it make at that point. He’s already losing. 1000 is a drop in the bucket comparatively

[@likemostthings]

this is pure poker comedy!

[@wesleyb1458]

Steve is very entertaining. People like that are good for the game

[@rickdeckard9810]

His speech play isn't annoying or needling it's more comedic so kinda like this guy.

[@TheZiggle]

This guy Thomas still thinks we are in COVID times. 😂 💀 😂

[@lukeshaw4287]

“I have Jack deuce.” “That’s not bad”. Haha

[@ryang4059]

I do believe tom owes people money. He’s slowly morphing into a gremlin

[@Darealmclovin47]

I think he started to massage his hand during a bluff to try and confuse Steve. Maybe it’s just enough extra information for steve to make a mistake. That was subtle but very next level play

[@TrevorStevens91]

Big fan love his character and etiquette

[@golfmaniac007]

I’m sure Steve has the bank account to make this game feel like 1/2

[@nfc14g]

10:53 next two comments got me 😂

[@kingmo565]

Tom believed Steve for having J2 actually, he simply wanted to represent a better hand (as in a J with a better kicker or a better hand overall). But Steve wasn't going to fold, and Dwan knows this now.

[@gophukyurselvs3621]

Tom’s girlfriend - I’m going to cheat on you and sleep with Phil Ivy Tom- ok Tom’s girlfriend - having sex with Phil Ivy Tom- what just happened?

[@mamterilleq]

Anytime I get a jack duce I think of Steve now

[@WelshyPilotGuy]

Playing at the UK Grovsnor Casino in Cardiff I did this with AA and was told by the floor that my hand was dead because I declared my actual hand? I said I could be lying so it’s irrelevant but I lost my hand and my contribution to the pot which was significant.

[@Pluto-vn8tw]

Steve is a comedian! Love him

[@luislopezmoreno2469]

¿Qué opinan de hacer raise en la primer mano J-2?

[@rolirolster]

Love Steve, I've tried that revealing technique before, if you get it right you can tilt the fuck out of the table.

[@OdysseusMcNobody]

Never did i realize that, yeah, they NEVER interview the loser after a fight. Lol..... imagine you walking off on tilt, right into a camera crew.

[@stewybstewy]

[@adamj2381]

My man Steve is kinda unpredictable. You tell them your hand enough they start to believe it, then bluffs hook with the same tactic with the “thank god” when the 7s pair lol

[@AlexDuvall]

Balanced

[@k0ka1nch0]

Tom's reaction is priceless.

[@AlexDuvall]

[@brizobst]

Bluffing the tell at 1:23 was genius

The fish min bet is always the nuts or close to it.

[@thetylife]

He's like Tom's slightly cooler older brother. lol

[@PenPineappleApplePen007]

Steve made a strong bluff there at around 7:40. It could have ended badly for him if Hook had read his body language as being nervous.
