If that is true,which I think it is,why dont the professional players say in the media that he isnt 'real'-hope he draws fish or?Been wondering cause if someone is pretending to be a poker player-a thing which is very tough to accomplish nowadays,why would the best like Ivey go to parties with him etc?

He's a massive whale seems to be a good guess. He was bragging on Ridiculousness a show just like Tosh.O but with more people in it that he lost 3.6 milly or something like that in 2 different sessions as the most he lost in a session. Never said anything about his biggest winning session. It was like right around the first time I heard of him and hearing that rung the BS bells as far as him being a pro. I woulda heard of him long ago if he was that at that baller status, we all would have....

Now, don't take this as me arguing for him being some amazing poker player (which he doesn't even claim to be), but that he has played ridiculous stakes of poker for a long time isn't a new invention or anything

It is. To me Blizarian will always be the ****-my-pants-heart-attack guy.

Ya Bilzerian was crushing 5/10 and 10/20 on Bovada back in 2005-2006 or somewhere around that time frame. Name was Blitzkrieg or Blitz something everyone called him Blitz.

That said while I doubt Dan is a super good poker player, I also doubt he's a super bad one. He's most likely a weak-tight break even type and that's all you would need to be if you just wanted to be a successful money launderer (allegedly). He's also talked up his game selection in the past, and good game selection is more important that great play, so if he's doing that right maybe he is a winner.

If you go to the Comcast on-demand movie section, he's listed as one of the 3 named actors in the movie, along w Bruce Willis and someone else I can't remember. I didn't realize he would've had such a major role, as these thumbnails usually only list the 2 or 3 most prominent actors in then film.

Step 4: Have your sons become "Poker players" in the publics eye

I happened to see that movie on demand Friday night...i thought it was terrible. Some terrible acting and not much story or character development. At least the movie was only about an hour and twenty minutes.

Can't be both because the Ridiculousness show was on this summer. As others have said he has been pretty well known in the 2+2 community for quite a long time now.

I read he has a history of kicking women in the head (when he drinks) and throwing them off rooftops too.

He probably could've avoided the lawsuit entirely had he taken care of Janice Griffith's injuries the way he takes care of his boat hoes.
