More succinctly, The Setup is Bilzerian’s philosophy towards life and women. It’s a raw, no-holds-barred look at a man many consider an enigma. From his life as a kid to his unprecedented rise to fame on social media. The Setup is an intimate look at all things Dan Bilzerian. What is The Setup? The Setup by Dan Bilzerian I obtained a copy of his book, which I assumed would be ghostwritten but was actually penned by the man himself, during the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and it made a helluva impression on many levels. I was hoping some of those questions might be answered in his new self-published autobiography The Setup, and much to my surprise, they were. I’ve been around the poker world for more than a decade and feel pretty well-connected, so if I was unaware of even the rudimentary details, how true could it be? That has been my thinking for a while – I was skeptical of Bilzerian as a poker player because there were so many unanswered questions. 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? Primarily, my biggest reservation with Bilzerian was his claims of poker success without much to back it up. I’d be lying if I said I, like millions of other men, wasn’t fascinated by his lifestyle and adventures, but I’m also not a fan of some of the things he does (i.e. In poker, the GGPoker Ambassador has reportedly won tens of millions, caused a controversy when he called a well-known female player a “hoe,” and has been known to rub elbows with some of the biggest names in the game.įor me, Bilzerian has been a mixed bag. Regarding the latter, the “King of Instagram” has made plenty of headlines, right or wrong, for blowing shit up, his myriad of dalliances with women, and even tossing a pornstar off a roof. There’s no denying Dan Bilzerian has been a polarizing figure, both in poker and in the real world.
