Probably more than ego. He is building an image and reputation, and all this is great PR as well. Sure he probably could have gotten a deal with FTP anyway, but this surely helped him.

I think there are several factors that should be included as well. Tom Dwan being extremely competitive and pretty much challenging the entire poker community (and himself too, to stay on top). It's more than just an ego-boost.

well at this rate, if he is lucky he will break even after including his rape of PA

still a lot of hands left and Durrrr is Durrrr. Can't count that guy out until the fat lady sings.

I'll take action on Jungleman at -205 before they next play (I put up $205 on jungle for every $100 you put up on durrrr).. how can u refuse if youre not counting durrrr out imo

from 2p2 hs thread, it's confirmed Jungle does not have 100% of himself, and rumored that Durrrr doesn't either.

Maybe if you throw in that Muhammad Ali shirt as a bonus...

huh? what do u mean by that lex? seems like a weird thing to dislike. I don't think durrrr was planning to always have <100% as standard when he made the bet, and obviously nobodys taking durrrr's action on the sidebet so hes got all of himself for that at least

really? that makes no sense to me either - why not just play 10% size of the stakes, and have 100%? weaker player pool.. less worry.. etc. etc. weird

thats why i like isildur hes 100% on his own

It's easy to be a boss when the majority of your income isn't from poker .

it's not easy to reach that point, that's why hes the motherfucking boss

Not to mention the Andy Beal Corporation matches, where Ivey split his BR with several other pros to play that HU match....

and obviously I know it's not easy and agree he's a boss, just saying even Ivey has sold pieces and been 'backed' before.

On February 5, 2006, Beal was down $3.3 million (USD). He then returned to the Wynn a week later, and won approximately $13.6 million from the Corporation during daily poker sessions from February 12–15. The games resumed February 21–23, with Phil Ivey representing the Corporation against Beal at limits of $30,000/60,000 and $50,000/100,000. During these three days, Beal lost $16.6 million to Ivey.

end of topic.

Yeah... and then Ivey split that 16.6 million with the 3-4 (or however many other people who were on the team).. meaning he did not have 100% of himself in the highest stakes heads up match of all time..

yeah you already said that.

but he kinda safe team from big lose.

agreed, its awesome when some maverick rolls into the nosebleeds like isildur or fullflush and take on everyone.
