Hey guys idk why I never thought about but I wasn't sure myself. When Dwan issued the Durrrr challenge, he sad anyone except Galfond. Is it because Dwan wasn't sure he couldn't win?

watched lots of videos to galfond , he is one of the best online players in the world for cash game
and to be honest i think dwan is not as good as how people perceive him ( i might be wrong but i believe in that)

I believe Galfond once said that it is because they are friends, and out of respect, he excluded him.
Now, I think that Dwan thinks that Galfond is better, and Galfond might know his style and tells a little bit too much, so better safe than sorry.

The friends thing is BS, he had plenty of friends in the poker world but only excluded Galfond. Its pretty simple actually, Galfond was considered the best PLO player in the world back in the day.

Galfond is one of the best, if not the best player in PLO online, so I think Dwan excluded him from the list very reasonable.

Each person has his own gambit in his head, maybe at that moment he was thinking about some kind of grief and could not win in every game need a good mood otherwise the victory would not be kept

He couldn't beat Cates during the challenge and has not played a hand in the challenge for years. So yes Galfind is far better than Durrrr. Dwan is a joke who doesn't pay his debts.

Interesting facts about Phil Galfond

Twice in my life I made a deposit. From the first $ 50 he managed to reach Sit & Go tournaments with a buy-in of $ 20 where he lost everything. After the deposit, another $ 50 more never lost a bankroll.
Became the only player with whom Tom Dwan refused to play as part of his Durrrr Challenge.
It is considered one of the best players in the world of pot limit Omaha.
After "Black Friday" moved to Vancouver, canada, to be able to play poker.
Since 2007, regularly published in the magazine bluff Magazine.
Won online more than $ 8 million.
He starred in the 4th, 6th, 7th seasons of High Stakes Poker.
