Where did you get the $440MM figure? I'm assuming you're saying that's his net worth.

Blitz said he knows someone who won that much in a year.

Hmm.....that's a stretch even playing with billionaires. I suppose it's possible in these private games, but the problem is that in order to get anywhere near games that size, $440MM has to mean nothing to you. Billionaires like to play with other billionaires, and they don't want to get trounced by pro's for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Its funny because blitz doesnt come across as a super smart dude but that contract is so comprehensive and it saves his ass from getting screwed like he did.

Dude must have matlock as a lawyer.

He comes off as smart

"One of the participants, Dan Bilzerian, told Star that he regularly played against DiCaprio, Affleck and Maguire."

No, that's pretty much the jist of it. He still hasn't provided a source of income.

He won't play a televised event like the One Drop because they won't cover him. Even if he makes the final table, they'll just be glossing over the fact that he's even playing.

Because he's such an attention whore, he won't participate in anything where he's not getting lots of press.

He won't be playing in any big buy in events anytime soon.

Yup, home game chips. Minimum buy in: 2 hooker sessions.

Exactly.... Someone doesn't go thru SEAL training just on being physically fit. With the SEALS you have to be just as intelligent as you are fit. And to go thru two seperate hell weeks and then to throw it away because you can't get along with your CO is quite immature IMO. But I would be willing to bet Dan would score higher on an IQ test then just about 98% of 2+2ers.... Which depending on how you look at it, isn't saying much.

New article by cardplayer (blitz retweeted it) he says that Ivey just went broke.

Quote:

They should be budgeting for whatever expenses they have. But they don’t do that and that’s why professional poker players go broke. If you look at Tom Dwan, he went broke; Phil Ivey just went broke

From an interview

BP: Are you and Jay pretty good friends?

DB: Yeah, I’ve known Jay for awhile. Obviously if he had got me $1.7 million we’d be better friends (laughs). I mean, I don’t associate with people because they have money or whatever. But I try not to associate with people who don’t have a lot of money because I feel they are always looking for something…Unless I have been friends with someone for a long time, I am not looking to make any new poor friends. [Jay] did well in the main event, so he can afford to do fun **** and hang out.
