I find you entertaining on every poker show I see you. I still get a kick out of one of your lines at I think the US Poker Championship where you tell the dealer how handsome he is as he gives you the cards you're looking for.
That hand from last years WSOP where you got knocked out...yeah that was a rough one. Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on televised poker. On the turn...I found myself praying that he caught up. I just couldn't sit still.
Really...the only thing that would've made it better...is if a pack of badgers mauled you during your tourney exit. Like...if they jumped out of the stands and mauled you. And...didn't stop. ever.
Like someone else mentioned, you can't have it both ways. If you insist on playing the heel, don't betch when peeps poo-poo your success and laugh at your failures (whether you had the best of it going in or not).
I didn't know your poker history before Survivor, but by the third episode, I had you pegged as an arrogant pr*ck, and laughed when your bail-out plan didn't work (those "I'll get some other players to hate me to advance" plans never work on Survivor, btw). When I started watching Poker and I saw you on a WPT "Bad Boys of Poker" (or was it PAD, I don't remember) I said, "oh that's how he is all the time."
Good luck with the show. I'll be sure to tune in to laugh at your expense as It'll make me feel better about myself, and really, isn't that what Reality TV is all about?
I like JR. In Poker After Dark when Sheikhan says "if you think you're about to get sucked out on, then you will END UP getting sucked out on" and he's like "What? What does that even mean? That your mind can control the outcome of the cards?"
1) You initially came off as a douche a few years ago when you were first on tv, but became more likeable in recent years.
2) GL with your pilot.....has the potential to be an entertaining show.
3) Stop trying to make us feel bad for you b/c you took a couple of beats. You've done very, very well for yourself with poker (the playing) and the opportunities that have come from your semi-celebrity status. No one here is gonna cry for you. We've all taken the worst of it relative to the levels we play.
isnt this the guy who always wears a beanie to cover up his bald spot? if it is then I wish you good luck in all that you do my friend. your performances on television are always entertaining and are good publicity for the game of poker.
I think referring to people that aren't posting really vicious garbage towards Jean- Robert as "ass kissers" is a bit of a stretch. To the people that are projecting their frustrations from their pathetic poker careers on to somebody via the internet - get a life. This board is just rammed with some of the most negative loudmouths around.

If it wasn't for the cheating illegal Internet sites and reality TV, all of you broke, can't play a lick losers would be standing on the rail hustling for a buy-in--just like the gold ol' days.
You suck. You sucked on Survivor. You suck as a poker player. You suck at life.
Why is it that people who got lucky in one tournament or another suddenly think they have golden life skills?
The party's over buddy and the boat just left--without ya.
Alan Kessler just walked downstairs and told me "they are blasting you all over twoplustwo. Something about getting beat by some kid spotting you an extra card in Omaha." Well its true. The kid plays amazing but I did get my money in good. And even though PLO is my weakest game, can you blame me for accepting such an offer? He guaranteed me another 3 hours. Lets see if he is honorable.
It is amazing how much joy my misfortunes seem to bring folks. That WSOP beat was one of the most brutal moments in my life. Losing with the nuts in a 24k pot with one to come and then a 15k pot with AA double suited to KK double suited in the same suits is tough to fade. And last month when I lost a 70k pot with my set of 8s on a 10 8 3 board to Dave Williams' A-3 made me want to cry. But each time I feel pain, smiles are made all over the world. I mean 15 million viewers were high 5 ing each other when I got booted off the Survivor Island.
Brutality entertains and CBS, ESPN, and WPT have all profited from my bloody noses.
Recently, the producer from the movie Jumper approached me about doing my own reality show: "Broke and Living like a Millionaire"
Really? Make money by exploiting my bankroll mismanagement? I love it!
My actual bankroll will be the tying thread between episodes. The show will be less about the game and more about the lifestyle, banter between players, and the hustle.
Exposing my weaknesses is extremely scarey for me but an honest look at my real struggles will be edgy and entertaining.
Pilot scheduled for March.
What do you think?
QFT.
i played you head up 5-10 PLO on bodog and you put your money in worse than I have ever seen and drew out on me for about 3 dimes. nh sir
You really want people to stop making fun of you, then stop feeling so sorry for yourself and learn to laugh at yourself. People will start loving you.
