William Swan

William Swan, an American poker player, currently ranked approximately 30,785th in the world, with career earnings exceeding $100,000. He is active in both live and online tournaments, known for his solid fundamentals and risk management skills.

Swan's poker career began in low-stakes online events, gradually building a bankroll before transitioning to live tournaments. He has cashed multiple times in WSOP (World Series of Poker) side events and has achieved top-10 finishes in some regional tournaments (such as WPT series). His largest single cash is around $20,000, from a mid-buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event.

Swan's style leans toward a conservative-aggressive mix: preflop, he tends to play strong hands and avoids marginal confrontations; postflop, he capitalizes on positional advantage to make continuation bets and bluffs. He focuses on pot control, rarely engages in large pots, and is skilled at identifying opponents' fold equity.

• Label: "Mr. Solid" – earned for consistently maintaining a stable bankroll management strategy.
• Anecdote: In a live-streamed tournament, Swan folded top pair top kicker in three consecutive hands, later correctly avoiding an opponent's concealed sets. This hand was used as a teaching example by coaches.
