Dan Bilzerian holds up Dan Bilzerian's arm in defeat at the World Series of Poker Main Event final table!

Bilzerian played in the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing in 180th place. In 2010, he was voted one of the funniest poker players on Twitter by Bluff magazine. In November 2011, Bilzerian was one of those sued over debt of honor winnings they had been paid in no-contract poker games by Tobey Maguire.

Dan Bilzerian Personal Life

The poker world is not short of characters. From epic tournament titans like Jason Koon and Stephen Chidwick to poker legends such as Doyle Brunson, there’s never been a better time to be a poker fan. With 24/7 access to the game on PokerGO, poker is all about tuning into the action as it happens, but where the heck has Dan Bilzerian – arguably the most famous poker player in the world – been?

Bilzerian remains a perennial favorite of the Instagram generation and a professional poker player who garners more interest than most through his flamboyant lifestyle and the mystique surrounding his poker play and wealth. But what if recreational high stakes poker player Bilzerian were not to dip his toes in the water but dive right in the deep end of poker? What if… Dan Bilzerian became a tournament poker player?

It’s easy to see how it would play out. Bilzerian has tournament experience – most notably a deep run in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event – and while he obviously has a fair amount of skill, let’s speculate on what could’ve been if he had decided to give it a real shot on the circuit.

Who Is Dan Bilzerian

Dan Bilzerian’s Poker Strategy

Bilzerian’s legend is already as full as his beard, and to add to it, he’d have to be successful, which means he’d seek out the best. Putting in the hours at Bobby’s Room, Bilzerian would soak up the moves from players such as Texas Dolly, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu. But he’d save mentorship to one man, and one man only.

Given their epic combination of confidence, it’s only fitting that Bilzerian will start working with the only mentor that would stand up to him with the results to back them up: Phil Hellmuth. They’ve both got access to the hottest tickets in town from rinkside seats at the Golden Knights to courtside at the latest NBA game, Hellmuth would take Bilzerian under his wing. If anyone can let Bilzerian know exactly how far to push tournament entrances, it’s The Poker Brat.

Dan Bilzerian: Savior of Poker

Bilzerian would attract a huge fanbase, not just live in casinos across North America such as ARIA Resort & Casino, The Rio, and Playground Poker Club, but online too. Registering under the name PayDaBillz, the Armenian American would immediately cause a spike in nosebleed online action as he would spend countless hours surrounded by his usual female fanfare on Bill Perkins’ boat in the Carribean.

Bilzerian’s trajectory to poker success would obviously not come without its ups and downs as Viktor Blom, Gus Hansen, and Patrik Antonius would just be some of the names ready to take him on at the highest stakes.

Online poker numbers, naturally rising again, would skyrocket, and President Trump would have no option but to immediately repeal Black Friday and UIGEA, opening poker back up to the masses in a way not seen since an accountant named Chris Moneymaker pondered whether to play a $38 satellite instead of ordering takeaway.

Could Dan Bilzerian Win Big Tournaments?

“I either go big or go home,” Bilzerian would declare on the eve of the World Series of Poker in 2020.

Seeing the WSOP make its debut a the convention center at The Linq, Bilzerian would be the brand ambassador, potentially even part owner and definitely competitor at the biggest series of the year if he so chose to. We’re going to pencil in the King of Instagram for a bracelet in a $100,000 High Roller event before embarking on a massive run in the 2020 WSOP Main Event.

As he wins the 2020 Main Event, he wins the 2020 Main Event, Bilzerian would spark a poker boom the like of which the world has never seen. Casinos all across the world would report increased traffic both online and live, as the man with the money, muscles, beard, and more women than one man can handle would definitively make poker cool again. Dan Bilzerian will make poker cool and once he’s done everything he can within this space and with this platform, only time will tell before he gets bored and takes on politics. It would come as no surprise that given the current political climate, Blitz would be a front runner for whatever election he inserts himself into.

The first time Alex O'Brien played poker was in London. Armed with some videos and a couple of poker books, she jumped into a Friday night $55 tournament. She admits, she didn't even know how much she had to put in for blinds and antes each hand.

Fast forward to December 2020, and she's just won GGPoker's $100k GTD Dan Bilzerian Birthday Freeroll. The perfect way to celebrate handing in a manuscript for a book she's writing.

In addition to the $10,000 first prize, O'Brien also won $3,000 to play against Bilzerian himself. No date has been set for this heads-up match, although it is rumoured to be in the New Year.

Thank you so much, @GGPoker. I had a blast playing! https://t.co/00hSVqwbVa

O'Brien the Author

Before the pandemic hit, O'Brien regularly played live poker. Whether in home games with up to 30 women ('I tell you, they're killers!) or at casinos across London, she was passionate about poker. So much so she recently got a book on commissioned, although she insists it's not a book on poker.

'The thesis is about how we should be using poker as a framework for thinking,' she explained. 'Just the utility of poker, and how it has some real uses.'

Besides a brief explanation of the game, the book doesn't go into poker strategy or different plays for a good reason.

'I'm a science writer, not a professional poker player!' said O'Brien.

How it started. How it’s going. #book #WritingHacks https://t.co/Iwj2aWi0wD

— Alex O'Brien (@obrientweet)

The book talks about the different skill sets needed as a poker player; things like data literacy, critical thinking, emotions and decision making. O'Brien says she has interviewed about 40-50 people for the book, including 'a lot of scientists.'

'Poker has this image problem,' said O'Brien. 'All this gambling is degenerate, things like that. So someone who has never played poker will never think about poker as a strategic game, when it's so highly strategic.

'That's why my book is a book on poker, without talking about poker. It talks about the science, and makes the case chapter by chapter that poker isn't this game played by a gang of boys or bad guys and that it's always a terrible bad habit to have.'

Bilzerian's Birthday Freeroll

O'Brien says she found out about the Freeroll from her poker coach, and eventually jumped into the tournament during late registration.

'He asked me if I'd seen the GGPoker freeroll and I said that I hadn't. On the afternoon of the freeroll he messaged me checking if I'd entered and I hadn't. I basically knew nothing except there was this tournament with a massive freeroll.'

After doubling up first hand, O'Brien says she was inside the top 50 for most of the tournament. Using the GGPoker software, she was able to easily track what the next payout was. First $250. Then $500. And with 20 left she received a message from her coach.

'He was watching it online. And he's texting me saying 'You're first in chips!'

The Final Table

At the final table, with so many short stacks, O'Brien was content to sit back and ladder. It was only until the final four that she realised that the top prize could be hers.

'I was never focused on winning the whole thing. Just focused on one more elimination. Let's do one more and with four left I'm like 'OK, let's do this.'

After winning, many have sought to frame O'Briens victory with regard to her gender, something O'Brien was quick to dismiss.

'It's nothing to do with my gender, it's everything to do with my skill. The female aspect should never, ever come into play in any aspect of our lives.'

Looking back, O'Brien says that she was just having fun en-route to her victory.

'I was in the right headspace because with my manuscript handed in, for the first time in a long while I wasn't thinking about anything else; my mind wasn't clouded. I was just having fun. I was just running hot. I'd just turned in my book and I was applying the knowledge, and then I went on to win.'

O'Brien insists what the poker community should take from her freeroll win, is that if you apply your individual poker knowledge you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

'That's the story right? It's not about [Bilzerian]. It's about me.'
