The Setup

Product Information

At age 18 this led Dan to want to become none other than a Navy Seal as the ultimate “one up” against those who made life difficult for him. High stakes gambling takes a serious toll on Dan’s mental health and his ability to enjoy life. He shares that when you have good hand or bad hand or are bluffing your face is always the same, you have to hide any emotion or facial expression to not giveaway any clues to the other players. He seems to want to quit playing poker after some very significant multi-million dollar wins. Granted, high-stakes poker games, especially cash games, tend to be shrouded in mystery, but for someone to claim they’ve won as much as Bilzerian did, well, how can one verify that? Did he really win that much or was it just false bravado, another poker player embellishing their results? Dan Bilzerian Net Worth & Top Things to Know About The Millionaire". The Latino Post. July 24, 2014.

He finds peace in the simplest of things like hiking with friends in Hawaii, walking on the beach and swimming and snorkeling in the ocean with friends. No orgies, real connection with real people that he actually likes and who like him without his “setup”. Dan specialized in a certain type of playing and creating a “setup” that would increase his odds of winning and winning big. He hung out with a group of guys that went to the mall to talk to girls, and Dan tried mushrooms for the first time. The book was highly entertaining, easy to read (binge-able), and has some wisdom sprinkled throughout, so he gets 5-stars from me. I’d like to know his thoughts on marriage, pre nuptial agreements, long term relationships, and having kids does he want one? Is he polyamorous? How does that work?The primary lesson is about positioning and environment design ("set up")... and how absurdly powerful they can become.

As he grew his network, he was eventually invited to Molly’s Game, where he met actors, billionaires, and movie stars. Dan goes on small trips with a few close friends where Dan is most alive, grateful and genuinely happy. On August 28, 2018, Bilzerian flew to Armenia with his brother Adam and father Paul to take their oaths to obtain Armenian citizenship and join the Armenian Armed Forces. [26] [27]

The Setup With Message Game

It absolutely did not disappoint. After seeing Michael Sartain's podcast with Dan Bilzerian, I became even more excited to read the book.
