All the people defending Bilzerian with random points would have got an actual education if all the money hidden offshore got taxed. Then this thread might get somewhere.

Why go through playing the game? Someone might ask about how you beat the player or how much you won in a particular session or month. Just say there was a 10k/25k home game and you got $10million in tips.

How many billionaires does he think there are in the world? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wo...lionaires_2014

This is non-sense. Blitzforce was feared at the 10-20 game on Bodog between 2003-2008, those of us that played against him realized soon enough he was a dominating force with the loose-aggressive style of his that took our tight-aggressive styles to town before we could adjust. There is no doubt he was the biggest winner on the site by far, before Doug Polk even knew what online poker was.

I also remember Dan Bilzerian in de Bodog days. Whenever he would log in, my and my friends immediately shat our pants and sat out on all tables. After a while we would all just watch, as Blitzforce took out every single one of his opponents for millions of dollars. He played the most aggressive HU poker, reminiscent of Stu Ungar, only way better and even more agressive. He was so good, we had never seen anything this good ever in eternity. I love Dan Bilzerian so much, I want to be with him forever for the rest of my life. No ho mo.

Care to back up your statements in any meaningful way?

Why aren't people posting extensive, irrefutable evidence of blitzforce's results in 2004 on-line poker??

No one seems to dispute Robl and the tens of millions he earned, but there is a resistance to believe it for Bilzerian, possibly due to envy and his lifestyle which he flaunted compared to Robl. The younger brother of Dan's was nowhere near as good, hence why he didn't succeed.

Because no one cares that much? Nor should they.

Everyone knows Dan has made 10s of millions of dollars from poker, it’s a question of how he got his start. The difference between him and Robl is there is literally a book (Ship it Holla Ballas) documenting Robl’s come-up. There’s nothing like that for Dan - doesn’t mean he didn’t make all his money from poker, but we have no records so it’s kinda up for grabs.

Correct. The haters have been shifting the goal posts until they get to a point that is unprovable so that they can claim some sort of hollow victory even though they were completely wrong every step of the way.

Honestly, Dan probably made billions from poker. He's just too humble to admit it.

i see what you are trying to do, so this is my last response to you. you're on my jock in like 3 or 4 different threads trying to play my antagonist. your drivel is solely clogging up the threads, so please stop. you won't get any more attention from me. you'll have to use the archives to jerk off henceforth.

i care the exact amount of zero how dan got his money, i'm here for the discussion. i've objectively challenged dan's claims as well as provided substance that may back them up.

Humility is Dan's strong suit.

There is an interesting story idea in here about some rich father laundering illegal funds to a son by setting up situations where the son actually thinks he's making money and has no idea it is a setup.
