More like Phil Hellmuth or Mike Matusow, where you make people love to hate you.

It is what it is, just roll with it. It will be much easier to accept it and cash in on it than it will be for you to try to change your personality to become 'cool and interesting' as opposed to 'LOL what a douche' entertaining.

OBV you should do the pilot. OBV you will make a fool of yourself further if it gets done. But also, I think it will be a hit, and you'll make a lot of money, and it will be good for the game. So do it.
Subtle. Genius nonetheless

Near as I can tell, the call is ok, but not good. The initial raise looks pretty bad though.

Maybe if you weren't a complete tool to people on the table, play drunk and be obnoxious in live games, trashtalk, and act like you're the ****, people wouldn't laugh but sympathize.

This is all from my own experience. Nice posse you have btw. They are like mini-you's!

First off, as someone who didn't make any post in the previous thread about you getting bashed in PLO while being spotted the extra card, I found it hilarious that someone could be losing with such a huge advantage. The fact that it was you losing was double hilarious just the way you portray yourself. If it was Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, or Patrick Antonius, people would have just said it's variance and laughed off. The fact that you portray yourself as a know-it-all and bigger than life makes people hate you more.

You need to realize that you built up your image for money-marketing and you got it. Congratulations, reap what you sow. No one will feel pity for you because instead of being a poker player (silent and meek) you marketed yourself to be a "villain", one that berates other people and shows no respect to others. You got all the TV cameras following you and endorsement deals that you could get by playing off your "image". No one is going to feel sorry for you because you were never humble.

There are hundreds of players on these boards that would gladly accept to play you HU at any time and these players don't get their fame because they choose to be humble and meek and not go after the cameras.

You are not in the top echelon of poker players, but you act like you are, and then you wonder why people hate your demeanor. It's not so hard to see, Bobby, people love to see a hated (in their mind) person go down.

I hope this guy/girl busts your ass, simply because of how baller of a story it would be for them, and because I also can't stand your doucheness.

People who berate others play do not understand life. Don't act like you are some bully, bullies were in middle school people. What happend to growing up and maturing?

Luckily most poker tables I am at are respectful, fun, of course there are often ribbings, and it is mostly a good time. However, when I come across a player at my table that acts like he is better than everyone, laughs in there face, is ignorant of all the people around them, and is an overall jackass for no reason other than to try to impress friends or whatever, I can't help but feel the urge to just blow a gasket and let them know how big of a lowlife insignificant POS they are.

And JRB, you remind me of one of these lowlife, insignificant POS's everytime I see you in person or on TV

One of the greatest moments in Survivor.

The survivors are trying to converse with the locals with no luck. Jean Robert walks out of the woods and starts speaking Chinese and communicating with the locals.. I jumped right off the couch.

You should team up with Courtney and do the amazing race.

Yeah pretty pathetic. They do that for pretty much any poker "celebrity" that chooses to grace 2+2 with their presence. Bunch of JJProdigy kissa**es come out of the woodwork when he apologizes annually. I wouldn't be surprised if Russ Hamilton came on here and he suddenly had 2p2 fan club.

Assuming this isn't a level and that JRB is the OP . . . go for the TV show. You have a big enough personality to make it entertaining. I thought your knockout hand at the WSOP was awesome TV. Sorry for LMFAO at your misfortune - but if you can still talk/joke about it and are willing to admit that there actually is somebody beating you at the PLO 5/4 matchup, then my hat is off to you.

Yeah, that was pretty amusing

I remember that, that was hilarious.
