| Jarred Huggins gets on BIG GAME from 2+2 I'm not whinning because I was didnt make it. Jarred Huggins was cut from casting at the same time I was. After people complained on 2+2 , pokerstars changes their decision and put him on the show. I find it funny that they run a promotional contest and it can be influenced by people on the internet, after he was cut. I've been thinking about another video to make and than qualify thru freerolls again. But after this news I think I'm done with The Big Game. I'm a little sour that someone that was cut with me , gets on because of 2+2. What do you guys think about this? |

| Well, in the real world, its not always what you know, its who you know. It would be silly to suggest that 2+2 doesn't have a large influence in the poker community. Huggins has an interesting backstory. The producers want an audience. 2+2 support showed that a large segment of the show's hardcore audience wanted him. I'm sorry that you didn't get on the show but I think Huggins is a good choice. At the end of the day the producers just want a show that people will watch. P.S. In the first line of your post you say you are not whining. Sorry, but yes you are. Last edited by alaskabill : 16th February 2011 at 7:34 PM. Reason: reread op, definite whine. |

If he was so interesting , they wouldn't have cut him in the first place. Sticking it to me saying I'm not interesting and no one would watch doesn't make sense. He was cut with me. They seen the same in him as they did with me. I didnt post to whine and complain I posted because of how much of a joke these pokerstars contests are. People signing a petetion online, come on... It's easy to muilt account. That not a legit way to run a contest, Imo. |

| re: Jarred Huggins gets on BIG GAME from 2+2 poker If you had as many people emailing 'the big game' saying they wanted you on, you probably would have got on the show also. It's good to learn early life isn't fair. Like the other guy said its not what you look like or what you know it who you know that counts a lot of the time. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. |

I understand that you are upset with their decision and you came on here to vent. I have no problem with that. I just think its funny that you keep saying that you aren't here to whine and complain and really thats all that your doing. Now I'm done with this thread before it turns into somethiing silly and gets me in trouble with ban hammer people . If you do try for the show again, I sincerely wish you the best. |

| I didn't chime in on 2p2 but I'll chime in here. I did work "behind the scenes" so to speak to get the message that Jared Huggins belonged on The Big Game. I knew the PR people and had met the producer and some talent from the show. I was floored when he wasn't picked and made a passionate plea on his behalf. I was VERY happy to hear they reconsidered him for the show, and frankly, and REALLY looking forward to seeing him on. It's an amazing and great story and from all accounts, he's a great guy and deserves this break. |

| Honestly man, I know it sounds like a cliche, but life isn't fair in general. Often, all that matters is who you know, or you just catch a lucky break. Think about the homeless guy who has a "golden voice" and now he is pretty well-off. It's bizarre the types of things that can happen and they end up benefitting certain people, and in this case he got on because he had a bunch of people on a forum vouching for him. Is it fair? No. Is it life? Very much so. |

| Daniel Negreanu personally expressing surprise that he didn't make it onto the show probably would have carried a lot of weight too. Maybe icemonkey can tell us more but from reading the thread over there I got the impression it was a technicality that made them pass on Huggins the first time around - there was that weird comment Negreanu made about background checks and that maybe being the reason. Plus he's got to be better than Ernest Wiggins. |
