really great plug at the end of that dailymail article for poker (re: adrenaline) NICE ONE

"He was a ‘meat-head jock,’ with a trust fund he couldn’t touch and $6,000 a month in disability allowances as a veteran."

6k a month? uuuuh whattt?

I played poker against him on a boat out of the coast of Ibiza (now I'm the bragging ass).

I remember him as one of the really coolest and nicest dude I ever met (considering he had that money and doesn't needs to be nice to get that "attention")

but I met him only once so...

Dan has a great life

3, 2, 1

much agreed, except it´s 1, 2, 3 obviously

Also lol @ anybody who doesn´t think every image he posts is carefully staged (i.e. fake)

I wonder how much this loser pays for PR

Lol, his life is 100000x better than yours and you know it. Haters get no where in life.

I can honestly say I do not envy his life. Sure, I would like to have his money, but the life he is living is probably not as great as many people seem to think. More often than not the ones making a huge deal about their life and posting stuff to instagram/facebook/twitter have some issues, and the quiet ones are living a balanced good life. (I could be wrong about this too.. Maybe it's normal these days to advertise your life to the whole world(?) What's the point of that by the way? It's almost like people think if they are not visible they dont exist type a thing. I dont get it. Maybe I'm getting old.)

And He seems like a douche, but then again I dont know him. My perception comes from everything I read about him so I could obviously be wrong about this also.

You are right,the whole bragging about your life thing doesnt make sense...
its like people get pleasure by the bragging about their lifes instead of the life itself...where is the good old quote''live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment''
Nowdays,everything is like a reality show...your life must be fancy and glamourous to mean something.
What happened to the moral values and the spiritual development that a person should aspire?
It seems like the life of this guy is one more lifestyle that is promoted by the system to make people dumber and take people's attention from the real life problems like poverty,wars,unemployment,moral deficit,political corruption etc.
Damn i hate capitalism so badly.

get ****ed.

To each their own. Some people would love to have his life, some people wouldn't. It doesn't make you a better person because you're married and have 3 kids and go to church on sundays, and it doesn't make you worse either. Unless you start being a judgemental douche, then I think you're worse.

ITT: People on a poker forum saying they wouldn't want endless trunks of money to do whatever the **** they want with

This thread tittle sucks! What happened to Dans Instagram blowing up??!

I'd agree with you completely, right up to the point where he starts posting stories about beating up hookers and then responds to others posting about it with "Hookers aren't people".

I'm not envious of him, but I can appreciate why people would be; clearly there are a lot of awesome things about the life he leads. But sadly, in this case it seems to come with a pretty dark side that I'd want no part of, and I would hope others wouldn't either. Well, either a dark side or a very dark sense of humour if he's joking about it.

Um, no, I don't think anyone's said anything remotely close to that.

nope just people itt calling him douche and scumbag but probably never spent time or ever talked to the man

Thing is, you don´t blow through money like that if you made it from legitimate sources. Let´s just wait and see how long it takes for him to go down in flames.

He is good to go , he no dummy

Sure, there's a lot of that - sort of standard for the Internet, sadly.

then you are a loser bro straight up.

What man doesn't like vagina and fun

whats a 'balanced' life anyways. Just do what makes you happy

says who?

Likely wont happen.

As long as thats not all there is. I mean id like to party Bilzerian style sometime(not including beating prostitutes) but sometime lets say for christmas id like to stay with my family listen christmas songs and play board games with the people who love me 100% and whom i love back living quiet relaxed life ..that might be the side missing for Dan atleast cant see it on the instagram pics maybe he doesnt need it who knows..but thats balance. Most of us internet pokerpros werent the most popular ones in school. I can see some overcompensating and even grudge against opposite sex

yes... mommy issues???

As I said earlier ITT I've found over the years that money/wealth act sort of like a big magnifying glass on people.

it tends to make good people better and douchy people douchier.

As it relates to this guy I really don't know which one it is cuz I've never meet him. several posters have come on who have met him a said the he is not like the caricature he tries to communicate (his PR person does suck badly if he actually has one, mostly for not getting ahead of the whole beating up the you know who stories.

all I know about him I read in this thread. but, doesn't sound like the kind of person I would want to associate with, but to each his own.

Free country.
