Ask anything to Tom Dwan | Online Poker Bonus

One of poker superstars, Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, wanted to something about the situation that arised in the United States after the FBI raids that hit Pokerstars, Full Tilt and Absolute Poker. He came up with something to be able to ask President Obama the following question during his ‘Townhall thingy’ (as Dwan puts it):

“I recently was on a uso tour to two countries in the middle east. It was a very rewarding experience, and i was surprised by the insane amount of interest our troops have in poker. I expected most of the troops to have barely played before and maybe seen poker on tv once, while having no idea who most of us were, but I was way off. At each event we had 100 people who signed up in time, and more who wanted to play but were unhappy that they couldn’t get in.”

“All the bases were randomly chosen, and for 3 of the 4 tournaments, less than 1200 people were eligible to signup. So this means far over 8% of servicemembers really enjoy poker from our sample size. Why then, 2 days after this tour, did the department of justice go after online poker, while at the last base, multiple soldiers are still playing online and trying to bring freedom to the world- yet when they come home they’ll be unable to play. Did you know about the doj’s action on friday? Is there anything you plan to do about it? “

The Full Tilt Pro needed a lot of likes for his question, but in the end the question was not adressed. To collect the likes Dwan had the idea to open a ‘Ask anything to Dwan’ thread on the popular bookmark site Reddit.com.

Durrrr answered a lot of questions and it seems like the thread is still live, so get in there quick if you have an urgent question for him!
