In Depth with Dan Bilzerian

The infamous playboy, the "King of Instagram" himself, Dan Bilzerian was recently interviewed on In Depth with Graham Bensinger. They touched on a number of subjects - poker was a big part of the conversation, but he even talked about his SEAL training and him losing his virginity to a hooker in Mexico in 8th grade.

Dan Bilzerian gets a lot of attention online - and usually not for his poker skills. He claims he amassed the fortune he's flaunting on Instagram through cards, but he's never present at the events the top-tier poker pros play publicly. He was streaming a high stakes online heads-up session live - when 3-time WSOP bracelet winner Doug Polk analyzed his plays [3], however, he was not impressed. Polk also insinuated that Bilzerian didn't make his money through poker but inherited it from his rich hedge fund manager father.

Bilzerian commented on these allegations. 

"For me, I just let people talk shit about my poker, and that I was bad, and that I had a trustfund, 'cause that was all very helpful for me to get into these games. (...) I never cared if people thought that I was good, I never gave a shit, you know, how people thought that I got my money. I still don't, I don't give a fuck if they think I got it all from a trust, I don't care" - Bilzerian told to famous sports journalist Graham Bensinger.

By "these games" in the quote above, Bilzerian - who was spotted playing cash game at the Aria Casino with Tom Dwan not long ago [4] - meant super high stakes cash games with "crazy billionaires", not poker pros. He later talked about a $10K/20K heads-up cash game where at one point his opponent was betting physical objects, like private jets and luxury cars without looking at his cards.

Bilzerian also shared a great deal about his personal life: he talked about how he lost his virginity to a prostitute while on a vacation to Mexico with his friend in 8th grade, and he also gave a tour of his Las Vegas mansion [6].
