Damn...this guy should go into sales...forget poker, he'd make millions touting stocks/drugs or whatever else corporate America can roll out to rich fish.
I still find it funny how he was like one of the first to bust in the 2-7 event. In the PokerStatic interview he keeps harping on 2-7 being his bread and butter game, and doyle watching him play it to get better, etc. Busted on set up hand im sure.
Actually his goal is to go from zero to $1 million. So even with 500k he would continue to play higher than he should to achieve $1 million and may stumble.
His bio on twitter:

I think we should make up false rumours about JRB....I'll start
After declaring himself busto for the 1359th on twitter, JRB found a nickel and dime on the road and put this in an empty coffee cup and shook the cup on a street corner, the jingling coins attracting attention and turning attracting the odd sympathy nickel here and there. End of the day he was up to 73c so decided to wonder into a casino and play the penny slots. His luck was in and he managed to spin that 73c up to a whole dollar. He immediately cashed out and stuck that $1 on red. It came in and he let it ride, but it came black and he was stuck on that $1. So he put his final dollar on black and black came in. This time he went double or quits and stuck the $2 on red, it hit! Armed with a $4 bankroll, he sat down at a blackjack table and played one hand. After tanking for 30 minutes he stood on 16 to the dealers 6. The dealer bust and he was now up to $8. Could anything go wrong for him? He was now comfortably rolled for 100 buy ins at begging on the street corner, but he played outwith his roll and decided to gambo it up at roulette again. Determined to spin his way to riches, he played $4 on 3-36 and $4 on 1-34, it hit red five and once again, JRB was busto. A poker pro walked past and asked him whats up, he told him he just lost his entire roll on roulette. The pro couldn't believe it "ouch man...your whole roll??? that must have been some roulette game! well JRB, i don't have much cash on me man, but is 5k any use to you? sorry it probably like one bet in that roulette session you must have been playing, go check out the poker though...easy 10/20 game going...if you lose it, hey its cool...it happens" JRB was now robusto. He saw the 10/20 game, but it looked like there was more money on the 50/100 table, where some drunks were going crazy with $1000 bundles of cash in every hand. JRB took a seat, buying in at a comfortable 50bb/100% of his bankroll. The first hand he could not believe his luck AKs, he raises, theres a reraise and a bunch of calls, JRB re-reraises hoping to isolate....its called and called until one drunk on the end says "damn, I guess I'm all in..." JRB tanks for 3 hours....he has put $4000 in this pot, and has $1000 behind.
On the second dealer change since this hand had started it was decided that if he didn't act he would be banned from this casino for life. He made the call. The next 30 minutes were spent searching the casino for the villain in the hand, he was found paraletic at the bar but was allowed to watch this hand and would then be forced to leave for the night. He turned over his lovely pair of 2's.
JRB watched in anticipation as the board run out....
