Please Vote for Me to Get into the Pokerstars Big Game! Jared Huggins

Hi I'm Jared Huggins and I'm trying to earn a spot in the PokerStars Big Game. Please register and vote for me once/day at this link: http//memelabs.com/pokerstars/?play=20167 Until a months ago, I had never heard of the Pokerstars Big Game, because for most of the last year I was homeless, and didn't own a television. I had a rough year, people at 2+2 helped me changed my life around.

I also may get the chance to do some work here at FlopTurnRiver so I'm excited about that!

Below is a summary of my story by John "Jimmylegs" Wray. If anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. Thank you! :D

"A down-on-his-luck grinder, Jared initially posted because he'd busted his roll. And even though he was working three regular jobs to make ends meet, he was facing eviction from his apartment. A few cynical posters challenged him to make some embarrassing videos in exchange for a few dollars, a typical response from BBV. It was offered as a joke, but astonishingly he embraced the challenges with joy and personality and immediately we all fell in love with him.

To see the videos I made..go to youtube: search: Free Hugs on Venice Beach, Jared Huggins Thank You and I love burning bend (it's not letting me post links thanks)

He had no other family so 2p2 essentially adopted him, and members have been offering him jobs and advice and encouragement to keep him off the street. He has struggled against a family history of abuse and neglect and medical conditions, but through it all has remained one of the most positive people we've ever had the good fortune to come across. And for every dollar donated to Jared, he's given it back to us tenfold in joy and laughter."

votes don't matter for these videos, FYI

gl anyway

Jared - your story is truly inspiring! I have enjoyed reading what you had to say and what all you went through. Great stuff!

this made me lol. maybe my sarcasm meter is off

:heart:

Sorry Jared. I was drunk. Everything I said was serious but you'll get a vote too. I showed your story to my gf weeks ago (she knows nothing about poker) and she was in tears. I was just a little upset that your first post at these boards was a campaign.

In a perfect world it'd be great to have courtie and you.

the votes don't matter!!!!

i'm proud of my 3 votes, tyvm

So is there actually a place to vote on this or what? Obv I'll vote for courtie cuz I secretly have a crush on her (although I have no idea what she looks like). Damn I'm bad at keeping secrets. :rolleyes:

I'll vote for the kid to if someone leads me to the polls.

Even if votes don't matter, she deserves FTR's support.

Maybe you have info that I don't have, but it seems to me that the votes don't matter. That being said, I think it's fun to get the 2p2 community behind you and have them rack up the votes. I just wouldn't stress out about it.

Courtney! Thanks for the info!

Just watched your video! I like the part when you talk about how you've worked a bunch of different jobs and how you're on the grind. It makes me feel motivated!

Great video and good luck!

search for Courtney (or courtiebee obv) and you'll find the vid.

I like the part where you come out in various get-ups to explain all the random jobs you worked at. Unfortunately, you never worked as a french maid.

Thanks Jared, GL to you too.
