High rollers, poker geniuses and WSOP champions comprise the category “most popular poker players on Twitter.”
The social networks today, especially Twitter, allow us not only to be in constant communication with the people assigned as “friends” or “followers”, but also to enjoy a great commodity in receiving information of any kind. However with the help of Twitter this “any kind” is further specified. Being attacked by a bunch of information that does not interest us becomes the past. On Twitter we only receive the information from the people we follow and from the fields we are interested in.
• Boere: between gambling and charity actions
• Phil Hellmuth is too silent on Twitter
• Bilzerian rules not only Instagram but Twitter also
For the gambling lovers there are several Twitter sources that can’t be missed. Most of them refer to gambling providers and casinos, but the best poker players in the world are also included in this group. In this article GamingZion presents the poker players that have the highest score on Twitter in terms of followers.
Liv Boeree
She is a poker player but she can easily change the profession into a model, if she just wished to. Liv Boeree came in the focus of the gambling public back in 2010 when she won USD 1.7 million on the EPT San Remo Main Event, gambling news report. Most of the news feed that her followers can receive from her Twitter profile are updates concerning her charity organization as well her opinions about animal’s protection. But Twitter is not the only social network where Boeree is active. Last year she succeeded to attract thousands of poker fans with her swimsuit video on the Vine social media platform. Weather we will see a longer video like this from Boeree soon, is something that her followers on Twitter will definitely know first.
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth is one the most famous faces in the poker world. Not to mention also that he is the one with the biggest ego ever. Anyway, you can either love him or hate him, but facts are facts. Phil Hellmuth is the leader in the WSOP according to the wins of the tournament with incredible 14 bracelets.
Most of the time, the 226,000 followers of this poker player can read information concerning promotions or charity events that he attends. But it is not uncommon for him to post some selfies too. However, we are on the opinion that Phil Hellmuth can certainly do it better than this on Twitter. He is such a personality that can engage huge masses of people. All he needs to do is to let his polarized inside shine in the same way he does it on the poker tables or during interviews. His Twitter followers expect that from him.
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu is in the middle of our most popular poker players on Twitter list, with his 369,000 followers. According to online gambling sites in the US, he is considered to be a leader when gaining money on poker tournaments is concerned. He publishes on Twitter on a wide range of topics from the games of Hearthstone to some PokerStars related items that engage his followers all over the world.
Phil Ivey
If you are expecting to receive dozens of news feeds from Phil Ivey on Twitter every day then you will be disappointed. He is not the most active poker player on Twitter but is definitely one of the most followed. The reasons for his low Twitter activity might be, as many state, his worries about the legal issues with the Borgata New Jersey and the Crockford London Casinos. However, this is not a reason why he wouldn’t have 920,000 Twitter followers on his account.
Dan Bilzerian
The first place on our most popular poker players on Twitter list is reserved for Dan Bilzerian. He is a special type of high roller poker professional that requires no additional description for those active in the gambling circles. As online gambling news in the US report, a recent article by Business Insider places him on the 31 place worldwide in respect of the popularity on Instagram, which was a reason his followers call him the “King of Instagram.” It seems justified to ask if he is a “king” then what is Cristiano Ronaldo?
However when gambling is concerned we might grant him this epithet. His Twitter account so far counts 1,230,000 followers. How does he engage with them? Well who knows? He is definitely not that “attractive” as his Instagram profile is filled with all sorts of weaponry and women’s asses. But the fact remains: Dan Bilzerian is the most popular poker player on Twitter nowadays.
