Just tonight i basically read up on your entire story Jared, and it makes me sick to see the hate messages you are receiving. Worse still the guys that trash talk about your game and then put a little GL at the end like they're trying to say "I'm not an *******".
NONE of these guys would have played any better than you, you were nervous to begin with, that's easy to see and there is no shame in that. Considering where you came from and your road to be on the big game of course the money means more to you than these chumps commenting on this thing. I want to say thanks to all the players that supported you and got you to that point in your life. I for one think you played absolutely excellent given your path to getting there. Further into the game you opened up, 4 betting Barry G and 3 betting your big draws. If it had not been for that cooler i really feel like you would have turned a profit. As for those who criticize your decision to run that hand twice i can only laugh in their faces. You were a 4 to 1 dog and if you catch a queen 20+ hands is more than enough to ship it again and make what im sure would have been a welcome 40k profit. Know how i know? Because ANTONIO ESFANDIARI said it, a ****ing PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER! He know's more than any of these trolls. You were unlucky, but you had an amazing life experience, these guys are just jealous that their little fantasy of 5betting Phil Hellmuth with 7 2 preflop and showing him a bluff and leaving the game with a 500k profit is just that, a fantasy.
You did it, you lived it, you deserved it.
Run good champ, you are one of the most genuine guys I've ever had the fortune to hear about.
