Two FTR Members Make the PokerStars Big Game!!!!!

Congrats to Courtiebee and Jared Huggins for both making the second season of the PokerStars.net Big Game. Courtney has been a community member and blogger on FTR for years while Jared recently started working for FTR. If you do not know his story it's a good one, hopefully he'll chime in so we can hear more about how his life has changed in the past year.

For those who don't know what the "Big Game" is it's a TV show where one "amateur" is staked with $100,000 against five poker professionals. If after 150 hands he/she is up they get to walk away with their profits. The highest earning amateur (known as the loose cannon) each season also receives a WPT tournament package.

In the past players like Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Phil Laak, Phil Galfond, Jason Mercier, Scott "mastrblastr" Seiver, and Hoyt Corkins have participated on the show which airs late weeknights on FOX.

SHIP IT

should mention the structure is slightly diff. than a normal game to prevent this. Pre-flop is is POT-Limit while post-flop it is NO-Limit.

so effing sick!
When does season 2 start up?

so they are like...actually going to be on the show and we can watch them play? (cool!)

Fuck yes!!!! GO COURTIE! Huggins was just a leecher lookin' for support etc, but I guess it'll be interesting to watch.

Hey courtie, guess the lack of a french maid outfit in your submission video didn't affect the outcome. Or maybe I'm just being results-oriented.

Whatever, hope you make hellmuth look like a bitch etc. Don't be intimidated. HAVE FUN AND PWN THOSE BITCHES

GL GL GL GL GL etc.

from what i see season 2 won't air til june.

Jared has quite the story, he blogs for FTR and I'm hoping we can get him in here to share everything he's gone through in the past few years.

ONNNNEEEE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMEEEEE

congrats courtiebee, rungood!

Holy shit, I knew Huggins made it on, but I didn't know about Courtie. I also didn't know Jared was working for FTR now.

Congrats, guys!

Congrats, awesome stuff. Hope you guys have a fun time ... and win of course!

gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo! Will be watching!

confirmed level

Thanks for the congrats and GL, everyone. I played yesterday and had an amazing time! PokerStars does it right.

I obviously signed an NDA and can't talk about it in detail until it airs. I will probably write about my experience in the next couple of days, though, and post it once it airs in a few months.

I also had the chance to meet Jared yesterday and he's a great guy. I'm definitely rooting for him because I think he really deserves a big win.
