name one thing in his game that he doesnt do it right or in his favor...

He does most thing right but there are a couple of more players that are just as sick. He won't even play Phil Galfond for instance and he said himself that Ivey probably has an edge on him.

He is friends with Jman so thats why they dont play

He also said that Jman probably has quite an edge on him and that he is the greatest poker mind out there.

Ok, so here's what i think about this hand:

Barry made a way more tightest laydown than Peter. Barry had to only call Tom's 100k bet he did not have money behind as Peter did. Plus, they had the same hand. Theres really no hand inbetween Eastgate's tripse with lowest kicker and Greenstein's highest overpair that Tom could have.

Talking about Peter's fold, i really dont know, cuz i didnt play with Tom Dwan, if i did, i would be more conserned of what he is capable of.

Tom really just got so lucky is this hand that Peter had a tripse, cuz if he didn't the result of this hand would not be so awesome. Remaining heads up, Barry would definately call Tom Dwan down (lol) .

i can understand eastgate folding for reasons mentioned, but barry has a lot more experience than eastgate and doesnt appear to be too concerned with variance, i dont think it is much of a mystery that dwan is capable of virtually anything. to just assume dwan must have a duece or tens full in this spot is giving him too much credit i think, but it was just a case where dwan was thinking on a higher level than his opponents, again.

I think eastgate's turn fold is good against basically anyone. It's one of those spots where most good players would just never think to bluff because both barry and eastgate clearly have at least QQ, and eastgate obv almost always has a 2 or TT since he didn't 3-bet pre and could easily muck QQ on the flop.

Obv the fold's not good against durrrr knowing that he's sick enough to have Tx in his range. But I just have a hard time faulting eastgate for not recognizing that.

I mean.. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped twice in this hand. First he raises obv figuring it's profitable to move barry off an overpair, and that was sick because it's blatantly the right play and I would've never considered it. Then he bets turn obv trying to move eastgate off of trips AND barry off an overpair, and that's even sicker. Maybe this is the type of shit that's going on at nosebleed stakes all the time, but I doubt it.

does anyone have a working link to this hand?

I'm curious to see how dwan would play 10 10 or A 2 in this spot

Im pretty sure hed not play it always the same way, i mean hed certainly raise some percentage of the time and call some. I think hed call a lot more in that spot than raise, cuz hed expect Barry to fold overpair in that spot often since he bluffraised, now he can raise any deuce there for value not being afraid he wont get paid off.
