Isn't there a lot of poker players in situations like this. I have heard about this guy since last year. It sounded like he just had a gambling problem at first. For a year people have been donating money to him and he is still homeless and working 3 jobs. I don't get it.

He at least has a car. I don't have a car. Couldn't finish last year of PhD due to finances. I have been trying to save money and make money playing poker so that I can finish my education. It's nice that people are helping, but this has been going on for over a year. If you are single, you can pay rent with one job and you are good.

I just feel that there are a lot of people in Jared's shoes and even worse off.

That's it. Had to get this off my chest.

Get a loan.

Someone who's 1 year away from finishing a PhD should in theory have a strong likelihood of being able paying off that loan in a timely manner. Unless your Masters/PhD is in something completely irrelevant to the job market, which it seems it might be. Someone will still give you a loan though.

Sounds like you didn't read the original thread properly. AFAIK he had a problem without alcohol addiction, not gambling. I'm also not sure that he's still homeless, I haven't followed things for quite awhile though so I have no idea.

No idea whether people are still "donating" (I'm one who shipped but it wasn't a donation, more like a freelance work offer), but what does that have to do with this thread anyway? This is about voting for someone we want to be selected for the big game.

I'm sorry for your situation, but what's your point?

Of course there are people worse off than Jared. Are you really saying people should never help someone out on the basis that there are a lot of people in comparable or worse situations? That would imply we should never do anyone favors ever. The difference is obviously that we know Jared to an extent and like him, plus he's legitimately earned a lot of respect. You may be a great person for all we know, but we don't know you. Are you seeking votes for the big game or something?

i went to the chicago bulls game last night and instead of a "kiss cam" they do a hugs camera during one of the timeouts each game. so i'm watching the jumbotron and in between showing fans hugging, they popped in little photos and BAM there's jared holding his free hugs sign. i mean, they cropped it at his neck so you can't see his face, but that's def his sign.

Hey All!

I've been following Jared and just like him i suffer from anxiety. Its a really crippling disease that makes it impossible sometimes to be proactive in life. its more serious than most physical diseases because it kind of just makes you unmotivated. You can't power through it or anything, you just kinda dont want to do stuff.

Also I gamble a lot and that gives me more anxiety, people honestly dont understand how hard it is to be a gambler with anxiety. I obviously need to gamble so the anxiety makes it hard. Its tough sometimes because Cancer, Muscular Dystrophy, and Autism get a lot of the attention when anxiety is a widespread problem.

Like Jared or Sneebuck i don't want any sympathy or help. I would hate for someone to pm me for free poker lessons at my available times from saturday to monday 7-9 pm. I'm not asking for money sent to my screen name on fulltilt IMnotlookingforsympathy_noobpwner. Im just here to tell people that I understand and that i'm positive but its harder for me cuz i have special problems that prohibit me from doing things...

don't be bashful, I will transfer you $5 on FTP if you make a video of yourself drinking your own pee while holding a sign that says SIIMP. must be a healthy portion obv, no shot glassing.

so has he been contacted? apparently they started contacting players for the new season.
01-10-2011 , 08:29 AM
If he has been contacted to play, he can't tell us due to the contractual agreement players on the big game have to sign.
