I can sympathize with him.
The mother wanted her son to be a winner at all costs.
Jordan overestimated his skill and didn't want to bring shame for not winning and then went at all lengths to prove he is a winner, and lost it all ($50,000).
The real tragedy to this story is that 2 people's unrealistic emotions mentally pushed Jordan out of poker forever. He could've started from scratch and built up a roll or used proper bankroll management with the $50,000 stake.
