Dan Bilzerian is a superstar on social media platforms like Instagram. Where he shows his wealth on super big yachts where he enjoys life in an abundance of beautiful women. Bilzerian quickly raises the question of how he gets all that money, he himself says he earned it with Poker. For a time, the American with Armenian roots was an ambassador of online poker GGPoker. However, he recently spoke in a podcast about poker players. He calls poker players fucking nerds.
Bilzerian recently appeared on the American No Jumper podcast where he did his story. Bilzerian is known for playing the highest stakes poker against millionaires or billionaires who are actually not that good at poker. Bilzerian hardly plays against high stakes poker professionals. However, he chooses poker games from where rich people come together, this is how he says he has amassed his fortune. He therefore has little interest in participating in prestigious tournaments such as the WSOP and other tournaments that attract the best poker players in the world.
Dan Bilzerian plays poker for the money, not for the recognition of the poker world. “My goal with poker was always to play with people who played for fun, " Bilzerian said. “I wanted to play with the rich man who played for fun, not the man who tried to be a killer. I wanted to play against these rich dudes who went out there to blow off some steam, hang out with their friends, show a big bluff, have sex with massage girls, whatever, men who wanted to be without their wives for a while."He also challenged this Alec Gores to a Heads-up match for $ 100 million. However, unfortunately, this match never seems to come of it
The American does not seem to be a fan of the poker world. Most poker players are fucking nerds, " Bilzerian told Adam22 of the No Jumper podcast, who is also a poker enthusiast. “I don't really deal with so many of them, I don't really want to deal with them. I exclude most of them from my f*****g games. I never really let pros in.”
Win $40 million against 1 player
Bilzerian has a successful father who made his fortune trading stocks on Wall Street. Many people claim that Dan inherited a lot of money from his father. However, he contradicts this and says that he himself earned money playing against rich people. For example, he once allegedly won $40 million dollars from billionaire Alec Gores. He also challenged Alec Gores to a $ 100 million heads-up match. Unfortunately, this match never seems to happen.
