Just another cruel lesson in this thing called life.

Learn from it, become a better person because of it, and move on.

Cheers.

Regardless if he deserved this more or less than other applicants, it's pretty weird PR move by PokerStars to not let him on the show.

bleh

I would just love to know the line of reasoning here. They must be completely soulless for one, not to mention how terrible you have to be at producing a show for a specific audience to pass up on a person like Jared for the likes of someone else who NO ONE will have heard of and that will not have a story anywhere near as compelling as Jared's, whether or not they have heard his story previous to the game.

Pokerstars doesn't stand behind the idea of playing poker to get out of an economic hassle so I don't really know either.

I meant of the show, which would be a considerable loss. Either way, I was mostly joking.

Can we email stars to help try and persuade their decision?

No, you're not allowed to do that

I sent stars an email expressing my displeasure with their decision.

I doubt they'll change their decision, but I'd love to hear their reasoning behind this.

They had to know the full backstory here, no? And they still turned it down? This doesn't make sense on any level.

So sick, they'll probably put some bimbo who plays poker twice a year with a sugar daddy in his place.

I wonder if this is 'Stars taking a stand against 2+2, "we can't band together and dictate what they do" or something like that.

Either way I think it's a bad choice, 2+2 / Poker community should have a say in all things poker , and it would have been a great story, they could have even included how the poker community banded together and voted in their 1000s and how top pro's trained him to play on the big game.

Pretty big opportunity wasted I think.

Gl in the future Jared.
01-29-2011 , 06:46 PM
yeah wtf is going on, was almost certain this was a lock
01-29-2011 , 06:49 PM
Just wondering why Pokerstars created that site where you can vote, because the votes don't seem to make any difference.
01-29-2011 , 06:51 PM
wow wtf
01-29-2011 , 06:55 PM
pretty much a slap in the face to the community. considering the big game was supposed to be more aimed at the online guy (isnt that why they have the stats thing?) but no they have idiots like an old man who drove a race car and a stupid gimic twin who gave an xfactor sob story GTFO IMO.

really am suprised by stars decision wont b watching the big game anymore and i dont even play on stars anymore. keep signing SS scum to your team pros and waste peoples rake money that way!!!!

I really wish FTP gives him the online pro deal.. $35/hour + 100% rakeback. Costs FTP next to nothing and gives them good karma and publicity. Would also be a nice little payback for Stars getting Isildur1.
01-29-2011 , 07:07 PM
Just saw this and am absolutely shocked. I have no idea why he wasn't chosen. I know that FOX investigates contestants backgrounds, looking for any criminal past, etc. but I've got no clue why they wouldn't pick him. Sorry to all those that supported Jared, I was one of them.
