think hes break even for the year now, guy loves his oreos

WOW... if this were me, I'd stop playing poker and just enjoy life, travel the world etc.

He can travel the world and play poker and make even more $$

one sick guy, nice work !

sick life. it really felt like djk was the nuts going into the FT too. didn't rail much of it but i was watching him 4 handed w/ like an 18m stack at chip leader. guess he busted soon after. what happened? run bad?

He doubled up reddeevil (can't remember the cards). Then he decided to put all his chips into the middle with pocket tens vs Jovial's KK.

looks like its a good time to get back into tourneys...

AJ v KJcc on an Axy flop with two clubs

Sign him

Actually, this.

lolol nice results

You're all being too results oriented.

oh my sweet god he shipped the monday 1k too.. thats bananas

Jesus wtf

fml

He's won the Sunday Million before too (for $250k; beat apestyles HU), so now he's basically just missing a WSOP bracelet.

absolutely incredible

congratz sicko :-)

Congratulations Jovial Giant

Time for a Well!!!!!!

What is Jovial Gent's style that makes him successful? How does he compare to Elky, Negreanu, Ivey? Does he play cash also?

haha

the fact of the matter is this; you will never be as good as him, I will never be as good as him, and everyone who posted in this thread will never be as good as him. with that being said, it really doesn't matter what his style is because even if you know what it is, you'll never be able to emulate it. these players see everything, instantly pick up on opponent leaks and tendecies, instantly profile opponents, instantly know what range of hands each opponent is capable of folding or calling with in nearly every situation possibly, instantly know which players are capable of squeezing so instead of 3betting in spots they'll just call if a big squeezer is to the left, and the list goes ON and ON and ON. that is only part of what makes them sickos. jovial gent is a true prodigy. jovial and poker can similarily be compared to a 10 year old kid graduating from harvard law school. GENIUS abilities and instincts.

it was impossible for everyone who posted in this thread to graduate law school from harvard at 10 years old. IMPOSSIBLE.

it will also be impossible for everyone in this thread to be as good at tournaments as jovial gent.


some people don't think the game of poker works that way and that anyone can become a tournament beast but that is just not true fellas. i think a lot of people can become average winning players with a lot of hardwork. but very very few people can become the jovial gents of poker.

most winning players you see are similar to division 1 college basketball athletes (very successful and respectful in their given field in comparison to society as a whole). then the ranked tournament players on p5's would be like the best players in college basketball. then the top 10 guys are the NBA athletes (that mighta been a bad comparison but u get the point). then the people such as jovial gent, isaac baron, durrrr, JC tran, cole south, brian townsend, brian hastings are the lebron james of basketball in poker. the gap that seperates those guys from the rest of the pack is pretty huge and the exact reason as to why coudln't even be explained by modern day scientests. if you want to learn more about how these guys's brains work; then I recommend you research the word "genius" because that is what they are.

Wow, sounds like he studied game theory with Vanessa Rousso.

i didn't study game theory with vanessa rousso but I gaurantee you that she's a much smarter and better player than yourself and probably almost everyone who posted in this thread besides green plastic.
