John Dolan Bio

 
Jon Dolan had nearly $1 million in winnings prior to making the 2010 WSOP main-event final table. Like many young online poker pros, John Dolan dropped out of college to pursue the game. But that doesn’t mean he won’t tell you that it was a major mistake.

“I definitely left school too early,” said Dolan, a young pro who has been a consistent winner online. “I ran really good in the beginning and ran up a decent bankroll, but really had no clue what a downswing consisted of at high stakes. I wasn’t really prepared to drop out.”

Despite objections from his family, Dolan dropped out of Florida State to take up poker full-time. After struggling for a while, and taking up jobs at various restaurants and as a poker dealer, he eventually landed on his feet.
