Whatever the source of the Bilzerian gold, it seems that the nosebleed home games he frequents won’t dry up anytime soon, but it’s a pretty exclusive bunch of guys around that particular table, so best start saving up now if you want to join them!Īs I reported recently, one of the biggest games in poker history is about to be Perhaps Bilzerian’s answer to a different question, "Oh well, good thing I'm rich and I don't give a fuck," might be appropriate here too, given his clear desire to be in the media limelight at every turn. He funds his excesses with the trust-fund proceeds of ill-gotten gains. I think Dan is more about using poker as part of an image that he's trying to create, and I think there are a lot of people out there who will lend him a private jet, or let him test drive a ridiculous car."Īnd the question about Bilzerian’s finances, of course, gets murkier when you look into his father’s criminal background – with many believing With his own private Gulfstream jet, he isn’t really tied down to just his own home games though – jetting around to various $million games and tournaments, in between times living his ridiculous lifestyle. If you mix it with his reported ‘loose-aggressive’ playing style, and the fact he is likely better-versed in poker than many of his opponents, then $50million in a year becomes just about believable.

May seems to be the month for reporting on interesting home games - the ones which see famous celebrities, millionaire businessmen, and high stakes pros gather for the kind of poker nights which happen only in our dreams.
