when my friends & family ask me if poker is just luck. I use my Jas analogy and say how come Jas makes 1.8 bajillion at play money. Do you think thats luck?
Ok, Jas and I...where do I start?? We go WAY back.
It was the last days of summer, sun shining through the window. Life moving real slow. I had just reached the billion mark in play chips when this guy appeared on the same table with me with a COOL billion. This man, ladies and gentleman, was Jas. It was love at first sight, the very first night. Things have never been the same since I met Jas. We were like Batman and Robin, absolutely raping those play money tables. We started to make lots of trips, feeding poor people and generally balling. One night in Vegas we went to a strip club and wanted to find the get the best chicks in town. The doormen were like 'who the **** do these guys think they are?'. Jas just watched him silently and busted out a huge sack of play chips...and man did we get in!! Under minutes we were just stacking those hoes and drinking Dom.
But yeah...i could go on and on. All I can say is Jas is the man. Period.
Yeah it's a guy, a friend of his told me some stuff about him, like he takes shots a lot I guess... at one point he had 5k and went busto, then got 27k and went busto, then grinded a while in sngs, then spewed off most of what he won except 1k which he used to enter the monday 1k tourney, final tabled that for like 17k in december and hasn't looked back since. Not sure if that's 100% accurate, but sounds like there's a fun degen-ish story in there somewhere anyway, I'm sure someone has more interesting details.
thats cool imo. love to hear about people w no fear man.
I met jas back in the summer of 69.
I got my first real money account
Bought in for a five-and-dime
Played till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Played sngs and we tried real hard
I quit and Jas got lucky
I shoulda known he'd get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there with Jas
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a grind on your mind
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old 1/2
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
While 1.8 billion in play chips is a feat it's not that hard. I took 1k and ran it up to over 100 million in a month in play chips. I'd imagine i could've reached 1.8 billion fairly quickly but it would've been a waste of time.
it really sucks mods allow a thread to constantly stay open by a guy who has many 2+2 accounts and is so insecure he just tries to make himself feel bigger here..lock
ya me and Jas also go way back... we rented a house in vegas with some other pro for 12k for 30days... Jas and i would drive around in his 2004 bmw and go to jewerly shops to but expensive bling... hell the other night we went to the strip club and spent like 500 dollars it was awsome...

freind of mine knows Jas, he started from play money selling, and a small deposit. Never looked back hes from the UK, co-cky as hell tho. he is a bitch imo
doesnt stop talking about himself, likes to let you know how much he has won/lost in the last 50 hands/1hour/21hours/week by sending endless amounts of IM's
will ask the same question 100 times even when told the answer isn't going to change
also whines a bunch and is pretty weird imo
its a shame his personailty doesn't run parallel with his poker skills
I know Jas, Ive known him not irl but online for a few years. He is 21 and lives in the UK. He lost his roll which was 27k like last year, and Eric Liu gave him 1k to get his roll back. He turned that 1k into ~200k, where his br is now.

If I give you 100 play chips can you run it up to 1000 for me?
