More like Phil Hellmuth or Mike Matusow, where you make people love to hate you.
It is what it is, just roll with it. It will be much easier to accept it and cash in on it than it will be for you to try to change your personality to become 'cool and interesting' as opposed to 'LOL what a douche' entertaining.
OBV you should do the pilot. OBV you will make a fool of yourself further if it gets done. But also, I think it will be a hit, and you'll make a lot of money, and it will be good for the game. So do it.

Near as I can tell, the call is ok, but not good. The initial raise looks pretty bad though.

idk you're kind've a walking cartoon. No idea how you can call yourself a pro when you're constantly broke. You seem like an ok guy but sorta douchey.

If he keeps giving you that deal, you deserve and should be a big favorite to win a lot of money no matter how terrible you are

OP I hope you bust that arrogant child who spotted you the cards. Teach that fool that hubris is the downfall of everyone.

Maybe if you weren't a complete tool to people on the table, play drunk and be obnoxious in live games, trashtalk, and act like you're the ****, people wouldn't laugh but sympathize.
This is all from my own experience. Nice posse you have btw. They are like mini-you's!

Re: Yes. Its true. The kid is spotting me 5 cards/ Broke and Living like a Millionair
First off, as someone who didn't make any post in the previous thread about you getting bashed in PLO while being spotted the extra card, I found it hilarious that someone could be losing with such a huge advantage. The fact that it was you losing was double hilarious just the way you portray yourself. If it was Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, or Patrick Antonius, people would have just said it's variance and laughed off. The fact that you portray yourself as a know-it-all and bigger than life makes people hate you more.
You need to realize that you built up your image for money-marketing and you got it. Congratulations, reap what you sow. No one will feel pity for you because instead of being a poker player (silent and meek) you marketed yourself to be a "villain", one that berates other people and shows no respect to others. You got all the TV cameras following you and endorsement deals that you could get by playing off your "image". No one is going to feel sorry for you because you were never humble.
There are hundreds of players on these boards that would gladly accept to play you HU at any time and these players don't get their fame because they choose to be humble and meek and not go after the cameras.
You are not in the top echelon of poker players, but you act like you are, and then you wonder why people hate your demeanor. It's not so hard to see, Bobby, people love to see a hated (in their mind) person go down.
