Dan Bilzerian starred in movies alongside such stars as Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington, but this isn’t even close to being his biggest achievement. Instagram’s Playboy King is better known for his lavish lifestyle, but is gambling one of his vices? Dan Bilzerian is a poker player and his passion for gambling is one of the things he’s best known for. Bilzerian came in 47th in the 2009 World Series of Poker, winning $138,568. His brother Dan also participated in the tournament; their performance led Norman Chad to nickname them the 'Flying Bilzerian Brothers'. He participated in the 2010 World Series of Poker as well. Dan Bilzerian offers insight into notable high stakes poker games, including the time he won $12.8 million over the course of three poker hands and why he ge.

Social media legend and poker player Dan Bilzerian is one of the most high profile members of the GGPoker team. Bilzerian is best known for his lifestyle-themed Instagram page, which boasts more than 32 million followers, but he is also recognized in the poker community for competing in some of the biggest poker games in the world.

Dan Bilzerian Joins GGPoker As Brand Ambassador Poker Industry PRO The signing will be celebrated on December 7 to mark Bilzerian’s 40th birthday with a $100,000 freeroll.

Dan Bilzerian is mostly famous for his self-admittedly abrasive personality, opulent lifestyle, and a beard that looks like his chin caught lycanthropy. However, as he'll have you know, he has personally earned a large portion of the big bucks he uses to finance his swimming pools and armadas of scantily clad models. Bilzerian, you see, used to be a professional poker player, which has helped him grow a huge personal wealth. And we do mean huge:Celebrity Net Worth estimates him at somewhere in the $200 million region.

It's funny, though, that his name doesn't pop up on any of those 'richest poker players' lists. After all, Casino tells us that the ten richest poker players out there are valued 'only' at somewhere between $12 and $100 million, and include some truly legendary poker names, such as Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, and Phil Hellmuth. So, what's the score, here? Is Bilzerian just that good at poker, and somehow so humble in this particular aspect that he has requested his name be kept out of such lists? Does he know secrets casinos don't want you to know? Or ... could it be that Bilzerian isn't all that great at poker after all, and has accumulated his wealth through other means?

Dan Bilzerian may not be as good at poker as he claims

While Bilzerian certainly knows the rules of the game and has been known to play the occasional game of poker, Upswing Poker tells us that the reports of his actual poker prowess may very well be greatly exaggerated. Professional player Doug Polk once analyzed the 'King of Instagram's' online poker session, and pointed out several extremely basic mistakes few die-hard professionals would make. Polk called Bilzerian's aggressive style bad playing, and even went as far as to call Bilzerian a 'fish in the water.' (This is a lot less nicer than it sounds, as a 'fish' means someone who's not very good at the game and is likely going to lose a few pots.)

But how does Bilzerian make his money, then? Well, even the man himself admits that he has 'benefited' from a trust fund, and the consensus appears to be that said fund might very well come from his father, the 1980s 'corporate raider specialist' Paul Bilzerian. Dad Bilzerian got in serious hot water after violating a bunch of laws with his takeover attempts, so he was sent to prison and sentenced to pay a massive fine. Without pointing any fingers or drawing any conclusions, it appears that he only paid a fraction of the money ... while Dan Bilzerian suddenly ended up with a whole pile of cash.

He's previously tussled with Doug Polk over bitcoin and claimed to pioneered the loose-aggressive playing style in poker.

But now Dan Bilzerian is making perhaps his biggest leap into poker in quite a while. The so-called 'King of Instagram' has joined GGPoker as a brand ambassador.

“In these crazy times, GGPoker is the best option to get my poker on,' said Bilzerian. 'They cater to the recreational players and that’s the future of poker, not a bunch of math nerds.

'I’ve battled guys from the $2 buy-in to the $200,000 buy-in tables at GGPoker, and will be working with GG to make cash game tables even better for the average player out there.”

Fellow GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu said that Bilzerian joining Team GGPoker is a 'huge win.'

'No one in poker has a bigger reach than Dan,” said Negreanu. “He has won millions in cash games and isn’t afraid to get into the mix against the sharks in the high-stakes streets at GGPoker!”
