he says he won 54mil vs a guy like it was no big deal but then spends 2 months on a 600k bet that's literally 1% of that. I call bs

He claims he won $54 mil from playing a single opponent heads up over a 9 month period. Sidenote: Poker is swingy. And it was $1M worth of total action for 5 weeks of work. He also stated that he wanted to bet some amount where he cared about winning but not too much if he was completely wrong about his capabilities. And let's assume he's worth $100M. $1M over 5 weeks is $10.4M/year, which would be on track to increase his net worth by 10%. That's better than the best investors on Wall Street.

Nothing you cited should make a third party incredulous given the information presented.

"I think black friday was hmmmm (long pause) 2009(?)" Dan Bilzerian

What a ****ing idiot. If you are gonna lie about making 10-100 times more money playing poker than anyone ever and claim to be the pioneer of online poker you need to do some research first.

^^ I'm going to stop posting after this bc I'm not a Blitz fanboy but he clearly made all of his money playing against rich fish in live games. Why would he be some sort of authority on online poker? I would assume he was out of the online games when the 2+2 elite were dominating Pre-BF.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that there is correlation between being the best player and the winiest player. I'm sure Paul Phua has won many multiples more playing poker than Ike.

Most people in this thread clearly are miserable and can't stand someone who is showing off his incredible lifestye. Let's be clear here, he is a veteran who joined in time of war, tried out for seals (though didn't make it, like so many others), and all everyone looks at is how his dad made a **** ton of money in Wall Street and how he parties.

Well, so what? joining the navy makes him more of a respectable person than the fat cheetoh fingered hater on this thread. Also do you think his dad just handed him all his money? How's it not possible he gets invited to a series of high roller games and runs incredibly hot? His dad came up from nothing and made his way to the top and then got busted by the SEC. I doubt his dad is financing his adult's son partying lifestyle, especially since the dad is retired and can't work on Wall Street anymore

I love this guy, his life sounds amazing and his Instagram is rad but **** is whole I made my money gambling thing is driving me crazy. There is no way he made his money playing poker.

I think if someone like Bliz was crushing the games after working his way up in the live scene we would have heard about him a long time ago. I know people have known about him, but mostly from his baller projection of himself online and not from being a winning poker player. We would have heard stories of him playing huge games at the Bellagio or whatever casino you want to list. We even get scraps of information about big private games with celebrities and missing triad hostages (Dwan), so to think that this guy winning millions of dollars every week, month, year is just going to fly under the radar in the poker world is insane. I think he has probably won more money playing poker in the last 3 years than 90-95% of players due to the SUPER soft games he hosts/gets into but to think that that's where all his money came from is ludicrous.

Pretty sure Dan gets into JRB's private game at Aria.

Dan is the only big winner allowed in private games where he wins hundreds of millions to support his gatsby like lifestyle. People need to understand that he is 100 times better than for example durrr who also played with a bunch of billionaires on the regular! And he is waaaay more entertaining, probably the most entertaining player out there!

This dude is very legit.. why doubt his authentic character????? so weird

***** sociopath

At this point, his media machine is already financing his trips and girls. He said on rogan that one of the girls that hanged out with him now makes 500k/year on instagram.

This. I posted an article a whole back about his media manager. You only ever see the carefully prepared Dan Bilzerian brand. How much of that is really him, who knows?

Fair play to him though, taking cool photos with instagram 'models' for 14 year old boys to fantasise about seems a pretty nice way to earn a living.

The people getting mad about his supposedly poker exploits don't seem to realise he's doing poker a bigger favour than any recent main event winner as he's bringing in people who are stupid enough to think they can have his lifestyle from playing.

Sadly, the demographic is a lot wider than that.

How does he make money from Instagram?

he never advertises anything or posts about making appearances anywhere.

best thing for you that hate this dan guy is to go to that club MGM joint and get in his face and fight him or let it go .You see i think hes good for vegas good for poker this guy is a walking billboard pumping one side of the life i do the same in a very very humble way tourist love this chit they see him they come here ...you reading this bighitter go up to him slap his beard and walk outside with him let the hate out and then you have a story

What was his 2+2 username?

FYP - his account hasn't gone anywhere, although he hasn't logged in for more than a year, and it's been almost three years since he last posted.

But that won't help with the well, which was deleted long ago.

he was playing at the bellagio big somewhat regularly back in the day fwiw. also stories about him winning 20+M have been confirmed by halarabos.

ya, that well was amazing. and sad at the same time.

sup holla ballas

The fact that he was caught tweeting very old chip porn shots as a current win, weakens all of the fanboi posts. I am not a hater, more of a realist. I wish him well and continued success.

But he had a couple of 20+ M winning sessions a few years ago. lol

i'm don't hate him either although it looks like that. I'm more hating at the stupidity of fellow poker players, it's astonishing.

I'm either getting trolled or the irony is amazing

since you mentioned it, why was it deleted? user request?


I remember that thread and he tells a story about kicking two hookers. it was epic. or did he like wheel house kick one of them? lmfao. blitz.


...guess you dont need to answer that question, Bobo Fett.

Hes not a poker player, he's a stunt man

Its a sad day when the blitz well thread has been deleted.It was great reading.

Numerous poker pros have stated that it is very plausible he won 50m off 1 guy.

There is a case here where a guy won 15 million in backgammon during the course of a flight so its very possible billionaires like to gamble.

As for the whole got his money from poker thing, in 2007/08 it was known he was a trust fund kid, His brother renounced his US citizenship solely for tax/inheritance reasons and pretended it was about conspiracies .

Did you like the movie Wolf Of Wall Street?
Pretty sure this is the same situation just the guy has a smartphone and millions of people can follow his progress with new technologies.

kind of a silly debate, but obviously both things can be true--he had a trust fund and has also made a bunch playing in huge private games. Haralabos on Joey's podcast a while ago said the story about Blitz winning 50+m is true.

It's not uncommon for trust funds to be set up with a provision that the money is released at a certain age, usually 25 or 30. So maybe he was playing online for smaller stakes before his trust fund got released, and then when he hit 30 it was released.

Either way, the whole thing is entertaining, and it's funny how mainstream the guy has become. Anytime I've mentioned that I play poker (not a pro anymore but still play once in a while), to someone who doesn't know anything about poker, the first thing they ask if I've played with Dan, and not Ivey/Negreanu etc.
