Hi! I'm Big Daddy! (Tom Dwyer) "Semi-Pro" poker player...and owner of this here FORUM site. I'm crazy about all sorts of poker since my first game in Las Vegas in 1991! **little place on the strip called "Puffless Pete's Silver City Casino"** I was just going in to PLAY "SLOTS!" (Yikes!) Boy am I ever happy I walked in there that day and learned this game. (Well - the BASICS)
Please KNOW this..(Poker is always going to JUST be a hobby for me) By choice. Family First. AND - I don't want to ruin what I love by beating it to death more than I already do. I will never be a FULL TIME pro poker player. But when I do PLAY. I play WIN! I don't care if you are Johnny Chan of the Garbage man.. I'll BEAT YOU UP GOOD if I can! NO FRIENDS at BIG DADDY'S POKER TABLE.
Here is a picture of me back when I was running poker games/tourneys (Before the Money Maker years) Before I got, you know.. FAT and OLDER.

I love poker, I love people in poker, I love what I've learned from poker,I love to travel w/family,friends
and alone and I like staying in nice Hotels, and eating good. I love talking poker and I REALLY love

Come to Big Daddy last..Not because I'm better Donna or Al or Ivey or Jesus... Because I'm a way different STYLE and I have MY own special bag O tricks..

Plus.. I played in some REAL gritty backroom games with MOB boss types and well - toughguys. I got some great stories! The stories alone are worth the fare. For years in the past - I ran a game called coined the Taj-O-Tom's Garage! One of the best games in Pennsylvania.. When my wife had my little girl - I left that life behind. Big Daddy is NOW legit! (Too legit to quit!)
If you do this... YOU WILL SAVE LOADS OF MONEY in the LONG run.. FAR more than any small fee you are going to see here. (I promise you)
Good luck! I've been playing poker with GREAT success since 1991 - Truth be told - I should have quit and jumped into poker full time YEARS ago.. (THIS IS for ME) - I'm not suggesting you Quit your job, or leave school.. Actually, just the opposite..
MAKE poker FUN! Use BALANCE in you life - and TRUST Big Daddy, Learn to make good moves at the tables and they will filter into your LIFE!
Donna Blevins explains ALL this better than I - But I've been pitching the "SAME EXACT" message for 15+ years.. (Show me a really good poker player and I'll "probably"... but NOT ALWAYS "90% of time" show you a successful person in life!)
LEARN "QUALITY POKER" right out of the gate - and avoid bad habits that some really good players still can't shake.. (Even me at times)
NO BODY TOUGHT ME POKER in my FIRST 8 years... I studied in the school of HARD knocks! Hell - I survived the scam artists at the STARDUST in VEGAS!
