<p>Calling off all of his remaining stack of 200K on the river with two pair is sick at these nosebleed limits. So sick. But this adds yet another historic pot to his belt and lifts durrrr to over <strong>2 MILLION</strong> in winnings for October.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-457" title="durr" src="http://www.twistedgambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/durr.jpg" alt="durr" width="200" height="250" />Twisted Gambler has uncorked what is sure to send shock waves throughout the online poker community. <strong>Tom Dwan</strong>, also known as &#8220;<strong>durrr</strong>&#8221; playing the nose bleed stakes at <a href="http://www.twistedgambler.com/go/fulltiltpoker.php">Full Tilt Poker</a>, has a twin brother. Long abandoned by his big brother (Tom is almost 4 minutes older than his little brother), Tim Dwan is pissed and he has made it clear to this reporter that he wants to be compensated.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a sad commentary on the US attitude of entitlement but often a very common event once a family member learns of another family member who&#8217;s &#8220;made it big&#8221;.  While reading his monthly copy of &#8220;Ventriloquist Quarterly&#8221;, <strong>Tim Dwan</strong> saw a small side item about one of his &#8220;peers&#8221; running into Tom after a show at the Bellagio.</p>
<p>Tim showed up in Vegas the very next day and began to search for his brother in earnest. Rather than end his search in vain, Tim asked Twisted Gambler to help. We didn&#8217;t have to look any further than the chat box at FTP at Rail Heaven.</p>
<p>When confronted with details of his twin brother still being alive, Tom replied &#8220;I thought that bastard died after the wood chipper incident. It was a complete accident, obv but if that dude is looking for money he&#8217;s out of his mind&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tim had little to offer in terms of a reply other than to say, &#8220;The wood chipper incident is matter of interpretation and my attorneys will present our version very soon&#8221;.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-458" title="dSilence3" src="http://www.twistedgambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/dSilence3.jpg" alt="dSilence3" width="250" height="382" /></p>
<p>While it&#8217;s the policy here at Twisted to remain neutral on legal matters between brothers, we still can&#8217;t get over the resemblance these two have. Regardless of whether Tom really did try to turn his brother into a box of toothpicks, we believe that these two will ultimately resolve their differences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re playing online poker in the hopes of hitting it big and living the baller lifestyle, driving a Ferrari and snorting coke off a hookers ass, then you&#8217;re due for a reality check. Here&#8217;s some sobering figures for you wannabe online poker pimps:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-50" title="tom-dwan" src="http://www.twistedgambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom-dwan-275x300.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="300" />According to the Market Pulse database at PokerListings<strong> Tom &#8220;durrrr&#8221; Dwan</strong> tops the list with YTD winnings of $2.4 million. The list only tracks the top 100 and here&#8217;s where it get&#8217;s interesting &#8211; deeznuts6 barely makes the list at $135K. You read right, of the the gazillons of folks out there banging their keyboards all day and night playing online poker, the guy that SWEAKS into the top 100 is banking a little over a 100 grand. While I&#8217;m very proud of him (I&#8217;m sure his mother is proud too), that&#8217;s pretty damn discouraging for the rest of us.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s the top 100, what do you think the 1,000th best player has made this year? Maybe 50K? Jack shit is more likely and that probably puts the 10,000th guy in the same class and you and me, playing at a mother-fucking loss. Cmon, once you get past the top &#8220;few hundred&#8221; online players the rest of us have no chance. I hate to rain on your parade here but the numbers simply don&#8217;t lie. Sure, there&#8217;s folks that win big at tournaments online and this list isn&#8217;t tracking those but I bet you&#8217;re not on the top 1,000 list of those winners either, right?</p>
<p>I know we all want to be like durrr and wear gay ass hats and be made fun of on 2P2 while we count our millions online. Unfortunately, you&#8217;re not going to be <em>that guy</em>. Ever. If you insist on trying anyway however, we did find a new site that accepts US players and processes credit cards for deposits. So head there and see if you can crack the list. Prove me wrong and I&#8217;ll write a big ass article here admiting that I&#8217;m the dumbass who predicted you can&#8217;t make money playing online poker.</p>
