At least as much of one as fishing.
BTW, is Dwan paying off every televised poker program in existence to make him look like a terrible player that nobody will stand up to, or has he just been on a multiyear lucky streak?

I'm not really an insider or anything, but I'm under the impression that Dwan is one of the top 5 or so most respected big cash game players in the world. I don't think he really minds not being as much of a tournament player compared to some of the other well-known names when he wins six figure pots on a high stakes table.

Even in televised cash games, he seems to be getting by purely on bravado. It seems like 90% of the big hands I see him in, he would be busted if he ran into a solid player who was comfortable gambling with his stack size.
