There are very few people in the high-stakes poker community who are as controversial as Dan Bilzerian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loud, brazen and flamboyant, Bilzerian has been involved in more scandals than we can count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not a\nprofessional poker player, he\u2019s touted his poker success for years, claiming to\nhave won millions in private games. His official results tell a different\nstory, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Blitz”\ncertainly didn’t become famous for his poker-playing abilities. It was his\ncrazy and reckless lifestyle that he openly shares on social media that made\nBilzerian a celebrity and brought him the unofficial title of the \u201cKing of\nInstagram.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a lot of\nmoney burning a hole in his pocket, he created this persona that people either\nlove or hate. This is true for his personal life and his endeavors as a poker\nplayer alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, who is Dan\nBilzerian really, how good is he at poker, and why does controversy seems to\nfollow wherever he goes? It\u2019s not easy to answer these questions, but I\u2019ll\ncertainly try to in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rise Of Dan \u201cBlitz\u201d Bilzerian<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dan

One of the\nbiggest mysteries about Bilzerian is how he made his money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s generally\nbelieved that his father, who was convicted of fraud, found a way to funnel money\nto his son. While this is hard to prove, the fact is that Paul Bilzerian only\nreturned a few million of the $62 million verdict against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened\nwith the rest is anybody\u2019s guess, but it\u2019s not wild to think he would transfer\nat least some of it to his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlitz\u201d has never\nreally denied this, but he claimed he made most of the money himself, and poker\nprofits have supposedly played a huge role in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how did\nBilzerian get to be the King of Instagram and everything else he stands for today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He grew up in a rich family, not wanting anything more, at least in the material sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of his interviews, he said he didn\u2019t have many friends growing up, which may have played a role in him becoming a \u201cflashy lunatic\u201d as he describes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his father\ngot arrested, things took a turn for the worse. He started getting in trouble\nand was expelled from several schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on, Bilzerian\ntried joining Navy Seals, but that went about as well as expected. He wasn’t\nthe type to follow orders, and after a short stint there, he dropped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, he\nenrolled with the University of Florida, and this is where his poker journey\nwould begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point in\ntime, he still didn\u2019t have access to trust funds in his name, so by the second\nyear, he was completely broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\nBilzerian, this is when he turned to poker seriously, playing in home games –\napparently making as much as $90,000 on some weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the story\nof the flamboyant playboy was just beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dan

Bilzerian Introduces Himself To High-Stakes Poker\nCommunity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2007 Dan\nBilzerian caught the eye of the poker community for the first time and this was\nthe first of many controversial stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\nthose who were at Lake Tahoe at the time, Bilzerian got there with a suitcase\nfull of cash \u2013 hardly a surprise for a man who always wants to leave an\nimpression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supposedly,\nthere was $100,000 in that suitcase, and Bilzerian jumped straight into the\nhigh stakes action. But he wasn\u2019t playing a loose or reckless style. Instead,\nhe was waiting for others to do so, allowing him to profit off of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When that didn\u2019t\nhappen, he got up and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the\nbag full of cash, there was nothing particularly controversial about Bilzerian\nat that time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this\nwas just the beginning for the 27-year-old and the first of many chapters in\nthe Dan Bilzerian saga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram Shenanigans And Lawsuits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Putting poker aside for a moment, Bilzerian became famous primarily for his completely uncensored Instagram account<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On there, he regularly shares photos and videos of himself surrounded by naked models, expensive cars, and \u2013 guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blitz is apparently a fan of guns and has a huge private collection (below), which doesn\u2019t sit well with many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dan
Image: Instagram\/danbilzerian<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But it seems\nlike the King of Instagram doesn\u2019t care about that too much. While some may\nhate him for it, there are also quite a few who admire this approach, as\nevident from his 32.8 million followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such\nperformance got Bilzerian in a bit of trouble after a porn star, Janice\nGriffith, sued him for damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole\nsituation was caused by the photoshoot organized by Bilzerian and the Hustler,\nduring which Blitz tried to toss Janice into the pool from a rooftop. The porn\nstar didn’t quite land right, though, and she hurt her foot in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like so many\nscandals before and after, Bilzerian pretty much brushed the whole thing off,\nnot worrying too much about it. He made fun of the entire incident and kept\ngoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course,\nBilzerian\u2019s lifestyle doesn\u2019t come without its consequences, even if he can afford\ngood lawyers and make legal troubles go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He suffered two\nheart attacks by the time he was 25, and more recently, he had a pulmonary\nembolism likely caused by too much booze, gambling, and everything else he\nlikes to do in his spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that seems\nto be the only kind of time he has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although he has\nties in the business world, the King of Instagram has never been much of an\nentrepreneur – unless he also has some secret companies that no one knows\nabout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His most recent\nmarijuana business endeavor lost over $50 million in one year. According to his\naccountants, Bilzerian traveled the world and threw lavish parties, expecting\nthe company to pay for all of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you live\nthe lifestyle he lives, spending a few million isn\u2019t really all that hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But where does\npoker come into all this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did Dan\nBilzerian become a part of the high-stakes poker circles, and how much of his\nself-proclaimed success is real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Controversial And Obscure Poker Career <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Image: Instagram\/danbilzerian<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Apart from his\nsuit-full-of-cash shenanigans back in 2007, Blitz didn\u2019t leave much of an\nimprint on the poker community \u2013 at least not in the form that anyone could\nsee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His only\nrecorded live tournament result dates from 2009, when he made a fairly deep run\nin the WSOP Main Event, finishing in 180th<\/sup> and banking something\nover $36,000 for his efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, several\nyears ago, he made a very bold statement, claiming he won $50 million playing\npoker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, you\ncan\u2019t put a number like that out there and expect the poker community not to\nreact. Bilzerian\u2019s results were questioned, and everyone who saw him play\nthought this was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, this\ndoesn\u2019t have to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting aside\nhis larger-than-life character, it seems he\u2019s a very intelligent guy. At least\nall IQ tests he did over the years say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This and the\nfact that he is a celebrity gives him access to some of the best, most\nprofitable private games around. Add to the mix the fact he is perceived as a\nlosing player with a lot of money, and all doors are open to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let there\nbe no mistake. Despite what he might say or think, Bilzerian is a losing player\nwhen playing against the best in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He can\u2019t stand\nup against the poker wizards who spent years studying the game and learning\neverything there is to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps\nBilzerian even knows this, and his provocative tweets and statements are just a\npart of his ruse, helping him build this character of a fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in a game\nwith A-list Hollywood celebs and models, it\u2019s not that hard to imagine he\u2019d be\none of the best players in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He plays the\ngame more than most, he\u2019s a smart guy, and he certainly has the bankroll and\nthe courage to mix things up in big pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s also been\nfriends with some of the best in poker, so it\u2019s not hard to imagine he\u2019s picked\nup a thing or two along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps $50\nmillion is an exaggeration and another attempt to create some fuss and\ncontroversy. But is it possible he\u2019d won a pretty penny playing poker in very\nprivate, hush-hush games?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to say\nyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to why he\u2019d\nbrag about it, that answer is pretty clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because he is\nDan Bilzerian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent Partnership With GGPoker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether he\u2019s a professional poker player or not, Dan Bilzerian has recently been signed up by GGPoker, one of the largest online poker sites<\/a> in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Image: marijuanaretailreport.com<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The news created\na lot of buzz in the community, with many players and poker fans voicing their\ndiscontent. Bilzerian isn’t the poster-boy profile, and him representing a\nmajor poker site could hurt the game’s image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But from a\nbusiness perspective, the deal was pretty huge for GGPoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man can\nreach over 30 million people on his Instagram page, and when he posts about\nplaying online, you can bet at least some of those people will hurry to log in\nand join the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the\nbiggest pushback came from women in poker, many of whom believe that it\u2019s bad\nform to have someone like him representing a poker site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, over\nthe years, he hasn\u2019t actually been very kind to women in general, so how can he\nact as an ambassador for the game and appeal to that segment of the player\nbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilzerian\u2019s response\nto these statements was exactly what everyone expected. He pretty much shut\ndown everyone who didn\u2019t like the idea, throwing in a few insults for good\nmeasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this\ndidn\u2019t cause GGPoker to break the partnership, so they clearly knew what they\nwere getting into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll have weighed\nup the pros and cons, concluding that his wide reach outweighs any bad press\nthat comes with having Dan Bilzerian as a brand ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: Poker God Or Imposter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dan
Image: Twitter\/DanBilzerian<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we sum up\neverything we know about Bilzerian, he still remains a mystery in so many\naspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He clearly has\nsome money to spare, but where exactly that money came from is largely unknown.\nEven if his father did leave some millions behind, the way he burns through\nthem, he\u2019d have run out by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are his stories\nof multi-million poker winnings true, then? Has he really been a regular in\nsome super-soft, super-rich games where people are happy to donate some cash to\nthe Bilzerian fund?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll probably\nnever know for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one way or another,\nthere is no denying he adds some color to the whole poker ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not always\nthe right kind of color, but every story needs some villains, and Dan Bilzerian\nis doing a fine job at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
