Reminded me of Jerry, Kramer, & Elaine feeding Elaine's older boyfriend cookies as he he was out after having had a stroke...EMTs arrive, "Who tried to feed him cookies, you're not supposed to do that"

While there are a number of internet communities that would consider us pretty small, 2p2 is easily big enough to garner mention in internet community maps. It's not a negligible group by any means.

PS is so stupid

petition to quit stars and move to ftp? signed

Im not redepositing on stars ever thats fo sho

GARBAGE decision. really disappointed

ty for the support daniel. it's cool to have such a big name supporting us sometimes. keep on the good work.

****. This **** makes me mad. This was such an opportunity for Jared, for Pokerstars and for poker. I can't believe they didn't realise it.

lame move by pokerstars...

GL Jared, pretty sure if you keep up with this attitude and everything that you have done for the last few months that you will get to where you need to in the end.

seriously?

just in case you are, the 2+2 community worth easily over 20m$ a year for stars, probably way way more.

assume we have a standard stars supernova (me), lets say 200kvpp?
thats ~37k$ in rake per year, gets around 40% rakeback, so lets say 22k per year.
5 200k supernovas are worth 100k.
50 are 1m.

in the internet poker thread alone, there are like 30 SNEs.
feel in the blanks.

as for the dropped ball, it's quite the ball.
leaving the person and his story aside, just from a PR standpoint, what better portrays the poker community than this?

who's the ****** here, exactly, and who's giving him a Bill Lumbergh?

I would like if 2+2 left Pokerstars please do

That's a good question - have any other candidates gotten more votes than Jared?

There has to be a cynical reason behind their not wanting him on the show, but I can't think of what it could be.

so does he have a criminal past or wha?

woww uncool stars

fkn stars!! fhgfdsfghkjhgfddfghsdfghjk

Pretty disappointing news, but hopefully the experience has helped Jared. Amazing how much support you can get from these forums

It's ok. Nice try, Life goes on.

Seems like his "Story did not checkout"

Daniel I am sure you could easily find out, no?

I had heard a story weeks ago that Jared was not going to be selected and the reason behind it, which was pretty ridiculous and a huge beat. I am pretty surprised that you were unaware?

Fire off an inquiring email and post the reason here if you would, as I am sure many people are curious.

I have no way to confirm what I had heard so it is not my place to say, particularly as I am not a Pokerstars rep.

*I will say that what I heard was nothing negative regarding Jared, and more along the lines of bullsht technicalities/corporate bureaucracy (but again who knows if it were true)

Jared, stay positive and awesome

Bummer for Jared but I'm sure the journey has still been fulfilling in ways.

Uh, yeah, I'll still be on Stars

lol at thinking 2+2 members would stop playing at stars, yeah it sucks but nothing will change their minds.

Just tell us what you heard come on.

lol at me quitting Stars over this ****
