the next poster boy: tony dunst

postflopper · Oct 14, 2010

damn that guy is smooth. watched him on ep19 of the wsop ME, heh. sure, he's a mod on a rival forum but hey, entertainment is entertainment.

Biggee247 · Oct 14, 2010

I dont know if i like the kid. I liked how he was cool whenever he lost and didnt show any anomosity. Other then that, i dont really feel for his playing style.

Shady Vision · Oct 14, 2010

He's enjoyable to watch, pretty skilled, and not an asshole... sounds like a pretty good combo to me. He's also been hired by the WPT to host some upcoming events so expect to see more of him.

Read a few of his blog entries and it was entertaining enough for me to come back to them again later.

salim271 · Oct 14, 2010

He was alright with me... until he sucked out on Hasan Habib hitting a two outer on the river to make trip queens!!! Seems like a stupid reason, but I think Hasan could have made it way deeper than he did if he hadnt been nursing a short stack after that blow.

Well i guess thats a bit of a stupid reason to dislike him, there are way more annoying players left. John Racener and his gum >.> which I have no doubt is used to tilt/annoy players by the way hes playing with it allllll the time.

Dunst is now part of the WPT's weekly cast for Season 9

He seemed like a cool kid. Good style and someone who would be worth watching at a cash table with Helumuth and Tony G.

Just wrong putting that guy in the same sentence as those two.

DeadlyV18 · Oct 15, 2010

He plays solid and has a great attitude. I've watched a few of his videos on YouTube and have railed him a couple of times, always fun to watch him play.

DeadlyV18 · Oct 16, 2010

I believe today's his birthday as well.

By ET it's in 8:30 hours.

mikejm · Oct 16, 2010

i really enjoyed wathcing him. he plays the game with class and hes definitely a change of pace from your normal player. i actually was upset when he got knocked out of the main event personally i think he was the most interesting of the people left in a main event that has been pretty boring this year.

'Typically' his playing style is pretty tight in MTT play. I've watched many of his training vids. on PokerSavvy+ which I'd say are EXCELLENT (the guy's a great teacher, very thorough, well-spoken, etc.). I've also watched a TON of his play (Bond18 on Fulltilt) and have read every strategy post I've found that he's written (and they are EXCELLENT!).
Basing 'his playing style' from a small # of hands in later levels of the ME I don't think is a good enough picture of his game (we don't know the 'metagame' stuff that brings about the plays, etc.).
Weirdly/oddly enough, when I read about that WPT job that was posted on a bunch of poker forums, his name came to mind for me as someone who'd be great for the job. Then a short while later I find out he applied for it & actually got it (over many well-known poker personalities.. ie. Joe Sebok, David Williams & many others). Good on him!!
Alot of hard work paying off imo. WTG TONY!!!

Guess what..... most of the players that are left.... aren't really 'left', lol. This played out awhile ago down to final 9. (in case you weren't aware).

Robd3k · Oct 16, 2010

I like his playing style and how he takes his wins and losses. Always shows respect at the table and that is admirable to me lol.

davidjames · Oct 18, 2010

He's an excellent poster over on 2+2. Almost all of his posts are informative and help me learn. He kinda seems arrogant for some reason IMO. He also looks like he trys to hard to get women..

postflopper · Oct 23, 2010

haha, then again, he's got some moves. what he said to those 2 chicks, priceless.

dunst sitting with 2 chicks in the front row while a hand was being played out at the table: 'i'll have to come over for a good luck kiss when i finally go all in'

chick 1: 'get megan to give u one'

dunst: 'hmm i was thinking of the double up actually'

heh, how do u not respect that dude. in blatant view of the crowd and the cameras too, lol.

Lol i was aware Orifice ^_-, heh I'm just saying that Hasan Habib might not have gone out in 14th, he was basically a short stack the whole way from 100 and down, a double up would have really helped. You have to admit that he was one of the better players left (or at least one with a better poker resume.)

I'm biased, I really like the guy, his accent is awesome, lol.

Habib is a great player for sure.

I have to say that one girl who gave Dunst a kiss on the cheek was one of the hottest women I have ever seen

LOL - I wouldn't go that far. But the real question is: did she make you want to play on UltimateBet or not?

Dude it was soooo not fair that he had a hot cheering section... he HAD to suckout after getting a kiss like that!

...again, not his cheering section. They were models paid by Ultimate Bet to be there - check the patches they're wearing.

Really? Then why doesnt Phil Hellmuth have a hot cheering section?

Wait never mind. (HONEY, HONEY! HE CALLED ME WITH AK WHEN I HAD KINGS! THESE IDIOTS FROM NORTHERN EUROPE I SWEAR.)

xdeucesx · Oct 24, 2010

One of the girls was a good friend of his who he brought into stay with him during the WSOP....read that on his blog over at cardplayer.com

There were alot of good players left in top100 imo.

wagon596 · Oct 24, 2010

He is smooth for sure,,, if I could stay that cool no matter what happens in a hand,,,, I would be a much better player (I think). My feelings just control me sometimes.
just my thoughts.
