Poker Pros and Influencers Clash Over Cryptocurrencies on Social Media


Victor Bloom recently participated in the partypoker series in Montreal, where he finished fifth in the first tournament with a prize of C$72,500. Eric Seidel found an unusual way to promote his Instagram by posting a photo with Gus Hansen, which became his most popular post. Seidel joked that his Instagram will eventually become a fan club for Hansen.

Daniel Negreanu has found a new hobby: chess. Despite having major poker tournaments coming up, Negreanu expressed his interest in the game, mentioning that he enjoys starting from scratch and progressing.

Douglas Polk and Dan Bilzerian engaged in a heated argument about cryptocurrencies on Twitter. The debate started when Bilzerian mentioned considering a return to cryptocurrency investments. Polk responded by suggesting that true investors don't leave the market. Bilzerian then challenged Polk to a poker duel, stating that he could show bank statements proving his poker earnings. Polk, however, expressed skepticism about the reliability of bank statements and invited Bilzerian to a poker duel instead. The argument escalated with personal attacks and references to their respective lifestyles.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
