So, at least he has some friends...

Its a shame , cuz most multi millionaires only have really good friends that wish to enjoy their camaraderie and a kind word.

I did google him and what turned up was that he once claimed he had made $1,25m in a week trading Goldman Sachs stock at peak volatilty in September 2008 (http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB122220938944168865), and that he used to work for a guy who is worth $2,8bn these days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Arnold

As for his net worth, all I know is that he used to work as a trader at several well-known corporations, AIG (lol) among them.

Seems like he´s an investor these days, using a vehicle called Small Ventures LP. Take a look at the portfolio of said company. You´re my personal hero if you recognize a single one of them http://www.smallventuresusa.com/portfolio.htm.

He also runs a hedge fund called SKYLAR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT which, as of late 2012, did have $102m AUM (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...rimary_doc.xml). In an Interview in April 2013, Perkins claimed "Skylar has increased its assets under management from $102 million about six months ago, though the firm declined to specify current AUM". Let´s just assume AUM were doubled - $200m AUM is basically nothing in the world of hedge funds. http://marketsmedia.com/fundamentally-driven/ (EDIT: As per a filing made in October 2015, the fund did have $135m AUM, so yeah, even worse than expected. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...rimary_doc.xml)


So just to reiterate, he may be super rich or he may be not so rich, nobody really knows (again, same for many whales in televised cash games).

I read the bet is in arbitration - where do you find an arbitrator for something like this?

lol

dawg eat dawg world they got that Cirque Du Soleil guy online, husled him pretty good w. equity choppin, also Mikhail Prokhorov (lol 'scout326') skined that billionaire pretty good


thing is though, esp for some really successful type who isnt dumb (book wise), no ones putting a gun to they head and making them bet the sharps so why wouldn't you bet a good sucker if they are always around?

You should call this thread Dan's full of **** thread.

Does anyone know who this guy plays poker with? He said he made 50 million in one year playing in a nose bleed game. Here in Bobbys room he came up awhile back because young kids coming in asking about him. We googled him because not one person ever played a hand of poker with him. We would know these so called billionaires he's playing with but can't find any. Rick Solomon said he does not play with him and thinks he's full of ****. We asked every high stakes game and nada. Cause it is a ****ing lie. Even his dad claims to be broke and says he has no idea what his son does. Also heard he owes bad people bad money for big loans. Think he is just bs. Somebody said he was a scammer of sorts and scammed investors in Europe out of millions. Said his dad was in prison for the samething .

In after PW feigning ignorance before dishing dirt.

His dad was in prison? Why would you post a wild accusation like this?

Bilzerian was convicted of securities violations. He served 13 months in prison and paid a $1.5-million fine according to this article

http://www.sptimes.com/2005/09/04/Hi..._at_cent.shtml

The only thing worse than anecdotal evidence is anecdotal evidence attributed to "someone."

"Someone" said you touch little boys. I know. They told meez.

I think he's pretty douche fwiw anecdotally. I had him pegged as a good tourney player when my friends and I used to see him back in the pre Black Friday days but unless there's at least a name behind a message it's white noise to post that.

Wow, I'm shocked to learn this about his dad.

Just listened to this liar on Howard stern. He sounds ridiculous. Stumbles on poker questions. First, said he's a top pro then says he's a amateur . Said he does not play in casinos or against pros or in tournaments. Howard got confused. Ask if he played in Toby's game said maybe once..kinda stumbled then said they don't play high enough. Covered all his bases that's for sure because he's never seen playing at all. This billionaire he speaks of must live in a cave because no player has heard of this game. Even Perkins said he doesn't play with him. He wanted mainly, to talk about all the chicks he's bangs and how jealous everyone is of his lifestyle. Howard brought up his dad being in prison.
He also said he was a navy seal, race car driver among other things. Then he said he does other "business stuf" then he said he was worth a 100 million.
Poker is a definite front for this guy.

Dan has been caught in so many lies.

Said he played with a US senator . The senator made a statement saying he does not know Dan and was pissed that Dan was throwing his name around.

He posted that he won 10.8 million against a guy in aria. Aria said he just flat out lied.

Bellagio employees said he's bounce many checks with them and can't get a marker.

So many other lies. Liar liar pants on fire Dan
What's next playing with the queen of England in a top secret game.

you're a few years late to the party.

it's really great having access to so much insider information.

theinternet is so 'breadth of reach' anymore there is almost no way, but to already know, you are going to face every demon, big person who turned. Girl who burned till you are gone. Some will agree, others not butthats a consequence of putting oneself alll the way out there.

lol yeah buddy lets see how this ones goes, hope this guy dont helse himself

Yes he was very careful not to drop names on Howard Stern because he's been called out to be a liar many times. Navy seals are online saying he's lieing about navy seal training. Said what he said was impossible and a lie. No high stakes player post what he does online or ever would because they would have no fish to play with. Just proves he is a liar.

true story i was in the army 04-06 and there was things that dont always add up probably to the 'general public', military wise. so imo i dont try and ever discountsoeone whoactually did put themself out there, when over 90 some on percent of society never can or does serve in the military at all. Dont discount someone years later bc of some personal beef, all in allnot a bad dude.

I see the angles here, but imo the deal was too loose, you bet me yuo dont cover your angles I am going to work them. As a big hedge fund guy, if i have other peoples money, and they expect to make money and never lose any of it, of course you cover all your angles. I dont get why any1 feels bad abotu the hedge fund guy, who nmade a CLEARLY loose 'deal'. Or maybe im just going crazy

Yes you sound like your going crazy or drunk John Nash
What? Hedge fund , army ? What?

I am the polar opposite of you honestly

Most would think you have huge edge on me we both know thats not true, in the game. Private world doesnt know who i am obviously, i dont know who he is. I just know 1 deck poker so would probably fare at least well in any form.

This Privateworld/JohnNashJr conversation is making me feel what I image having dementia is like.

Blitz clearly is good for poker,he brings many fish into games thinking they can be million/billionaires and for this reason I like him.

so called 'heroes' (high rollers/name pros etc) get real skittish when an unknown is really willing to sit and play.


They probably do have more to lose then gain

in fact lets play for pride best of 10, zero buy in


winners choice

Bill Perkins is nowhere near stupid.
