Where Does Dagostino Get His Dough From?


Recommended Posts

What has he gotten deep in besides the 04 USPC and a couple WPT final tables? It seems like he has a big bankroll. Is he just a really good cash game player and grinds it out or what? I was reading his blog on the PLO rebuy event just not and he said hes in for like 12k. You need a big roll to be able to throw money around like that.Any insight?

The stories I've heard (or) read about him was he grinded hard at a local casino and on online cash games (limit?) when he was in college several years ago. I think it was shown on one of the ESPN short clips. He said that he would show up with a few hundred and win a few thousand every night. Then he dropped out of college, moved back in with his parents and played online all night long. They showed his mom talking about how he ate dinner when they were eating breakfast or something.

Used to be a cash game beast on FTP, easily the most often playing of the pros. He's certainly cut down how much he plays now though. He's always claimed in interviews to hate tournaments, so it'd seem the majority came from cash. Said he flew through the ranks running very well and using bad bankroll management but continually won so it didn't matter.I am kinda curious also though, saw him playing 10/20 today. He used to be a regular at the largest games online. Wonder what's happening?

I remember listening to a pokerwire/circuit show, where he says he just never lost a session for like 18 months, that'd build a br pretty quick.

I just want to know how he got the nickname "buttdags" I saw mattusow talking about it to someone ( edog maybe?) in a cash game one time, but he wouldn't spill the goods on the story behind it.. sounds juicy to me.

Dags used to own the 25-50 and 50-100 NLH tables on FullTilt. Couple months back his wife or girlfriend had a kid and he seemed to cut back in time played and limits. Since then i haven't seen him playing much NLH, but he occasionally plays Omaha HI/LO.

according to highstakesdb he is down 350k on the year in omaha, not sure what he is in holdem. That doesnt include the lower levels though, so maybe he kills the lower ones.

Yeah, I think that was on the circuit.J-Dags is the epitomae of a non tournament poker pro that gets no credit. He's an excellent cash game player and my secret tip for the 50k HORSE this year
