    Has anyone played with him live or online? How would you rate him as a player?

    From what I've seen on tv--on a scale from 1 to 10--I'd rate him at about...

    have not played w/ him. it looks like he has huge fundamental leaks in his game but seems to be good at changing gears and exploiting the fish

    seriously OP, wtf is your fascination with live pros?

    you make one of these threads almost every week and most of your posts are about some live pro and the thoughts of others on their game.

    Watch his interviews on the Scoop on Card Player TV. He is going for like 50 live cashes in two years, not that easy to do. And seems like a decent guy.

    Played with him at Borgata, not your typical player but like some ppl said above, he seems to get it done (obviously).
    Talks a lot at the table, uses it to his advantage by tilting his opponents.

    Dwyte is a beast live. Don't really say that about many people. He may not do all the same things that an online player would do but he has an incredible feel for the game live. And his table talk is better than almost anyone's including live pros. Not to mention he's one of the nicest guys on the circuit. I can understand why people would hate on him, having not met or played with him but I think it's safe to say everyone who has is a big fan.

    i concur

    he understands table dynamics and image better than many other well known live pros, and it more than makes up for some of the other smaller leaks he may have

    i busted him from a venetian deep stack this fall, that was pretty awesome. he tried to play very aggro against me out of position (probably cuz i'm a chick) but i wasn't havin' it. raised w/99 from the CO, he repopped from the BB, i jammed, and he insta-called with A2hh. hooray for holding.

    super nice guy though, he was very gracious about busting. also recognized me & said hi a few months later when we ran into each other again.

    Live pro???

    Is this term code for live players who make un-optimal bets/shoves/raises. I mean really wtf is a live pro, someone who can talk and tilt others at the table?? My inebriated uncle does this every day and is by NO means a good player. Stop giving "live pros" cred for table dynamic, they dont even know what that means.

    Live pro is code for a person who plays primarily live poker. Whereas online pro is code for someone who plays primarily online poker. All your other assumptions are simply stereotypes. Not all live pros know about table dynamic, but some do, such as Dwyte. They also aren't necessarily someone who talks and tilts others at the table? The things you mention are all irrelevant and both online and live pros can do do all of those things. The definition for live pro is really cut and dry, don't understand how you don't get it....

    idrc but saying he gets to ft's and wins is pretty ridic imo, doesn't mean he's good, then again I'm not saying he's not good but your argument is pretty poor even tho you prolly know that

    I've probably played with Dwyte a half dozen times live. When I first played with him about a year and a half ago he seemed to have some leaks and did some unorthdoxed things that you wouldn't see online. In the most recent times I've played with him he's gotten a lot better and harder to play against. He adjusts really well. Just a total beast on the live circuit with numerous wins. His online game isn't that great but he plays mostly live and isn't really used to the online game. With that said there isn't anyone I know that is more enjoyable to have at your table than Dwyte. One of the nicest guys and always keeps the table entertained with his table chat. Deff one of my favorite live pros

    The unorthodox play that several mentioned usually equates to simply BAD, unoptimal poker fwiw.

    In his case, he cant even spell "table dynamic", he's probly so coked out at the table and you wonder why he talks nonstop for 12 hours of the tournament lol

    dam dude hate much. mbn to play as good as you tho

    brags, I Ko'd him in a 1k a few months ago, he did get in like 60 bigs pre with AQ vs my AA, but, he seemed like a good dude

    Saw him out in Biloxi while I was there too for a lil, def confirmed my feelings that he's a good dude. As far as his play, although not "conventional" in terms of how online players play, but his live game rapes.

    There's probably a reason why he was POY.

    I'd think that thought-out unorthodoxy would exploit optimal play. I give the guy credit if he is finding unorthodox ways of getting chips.

    And learn some definitions. Just because some play is *unexploitable* or *optimal* in a certain situation doesn't make it the proper choice at that time.

    Why do i think that axdat plays ABC?

    Do you want everyone to play by the book?

    Although I don't think you meant this but a play being optimal in a certain situation makes it exactly the proper choice at that time... unexploitable does not equal optimal is what I think you were looking for.

    lol what? a PRO is someone who plays for their income. and much more than 100 players = PRO

    and

    unorthodox =/= bad play

    These Pilgrim threads seem to pop up every few weeks or so. He is not a guy I would be happy to see on my table at any point, except maybe for the entertainment value.

    I can't see his cards so my opinion is solely based on the millions of dollars he has won in the past. I'm going to say he's pretty damn good.

    i was using a little latitude.. assuming that the guy i quoted didn't have a clue.. so i used both to mean unexploitable.

    pretty sure that this guy has no clue what optimal is by his quote which makes no sense anyway. Besides, there are so many spots where there really is no Optimal play anyway.
