Yes. Its true. The kid is spotting me 5 cards/ Broke and Living like a Millionaire
Alan Kessler just walked downstairs and told me "they are blasting you all over twoplustwo. Something about getting beat by some kid spotting you an extra card in Omaha." Well its true. The kid plays amazing but I did get my money in good. And even though PLO is my weakest game, can you blame me for accepting such an offer? He guaranteed me another 3 hours. Lets see if he is honorable.
It is amazing how much joy my misfortunes seem to bring folks. That WSOP beat was one of the most brutal moments in my life. Losing with the nuts in a 24k pot with one to come and then a 15k pot with AA double suited to KK double suited in the same suits is tough to fade. And last month when I lost a 70k pot with my set of 8s on a 10 8 3 board to Dave Williams' A-3 made me want to cry. But each time I feel pain, smiles are made all over the world. I mean 15 million viewers were high 5 ing each other when I got booted off the Survivor Island.
Brutality entertains and CBS, ESPN, and WPT have all profited from my bloody noses.
Recently, the producer from the movie Jumper approached me about doing my own reality show: "Broke and Living like a Millionaire"
Really? Make money by exploiting my bankroll mismanagement? I love it!
My actual bankroll will be the tying thread between episodes. The show will be less about the game and more about the lifestyle, banter between players, and the hustle.
Exposing my weaknesses is extremely scarey for me but an honest look at my real struggles will be edgy and entertaining.
Pilot scheduled for March.
What do you think?

Re: Yes. Its true. The kid is spotting me 5 cards/ Broke and Living like a Millionair
The only thing I know you from is that one TV episode where you kept telling people it was a great laydown or whatever. I haven't really watched poker on TV in years but I remember that one. You seemed pretty obnoxious.
Oh and I don't watch survivor but my g/f does so I watched a couple episodes with her but you were already gone before I saw any. But she did tell me you were on it, though she messed up your name.

In before flaming.
Huge fan of Survivor though, sucks you were stuck on a season with a few idiots that didn't know how to play the game. If they did, your plans may have just worked.
GL.

I don't get why people always rag on you...I think you are one of the more entertaining tv poker personalities out there.

Bobby,
I'll be in Vegas for the series if you wanna play some gin. I'll spot you the bottom card.

Hey Jean-Robert,
I have no idea how good or bad you are at poker, but you're very entertaining to watch on tv and your Survivor strategy was interesting and fun too (although you may have overdone it somewhat), so **** everyone who's making fun of you on some message board.
