I can't tell if this is flame or a serious question, but I would guess yes since he is mainly a tournament player is he not?

It was a joke referencing his tendancy to come seventh in tournaments were the "final table" of six is televised. An occurance known as a seventh-bok.
Of course any chance it had of being funny is stuffed now cause i've explained it.

Oops, sorry dude. I didn't know that's why he had the name seventh-bok. My bad! That was a good joke though.

I agree Stapes help would be invaluable, pm him and ask.

It seems to me they are intent on dramatizing the money to be made in the context of the LCs life. One dude has 5 kids to feed, another dude is trying to get money for the perfect wedding, that kind of thing.

Tell them you have a mysterious rash that can only be cured by an expensive medical treatment, or maybe that you need the money to finish school, that kind of thing, work the human angle because we all know that at the end of the day pokerstars and online gambling isnt about greed and rake, its about making dreams come true, you see.

Sixth, your idea is Gold, especially from a creative standpoint.

I am hesitant because of 2 reasons. One is that i doubt I will be able to successfully execute on this idea over the next week. The second is that the one thing Stars is asking for is to make a video explaining why I should be on the show, which it doesn't feel like your idea really touches on much

I think I am going to go for the sympathy angle, planning on shooting something tomorrow and getting some minor editing done by the weekend. Will post when complete if it is worth watching.

...and I don't have to win for you to do this, you are always welcome for a fat session in socal...and next time I am in norcal, I will hit you up.

Thanks for the support from you and all the pokerroaders.

Oh yeah, and telling the story of how I got my nickname, while fun, probably would immediately eliminate me from the competition

Definately push the human angle. Don't just film two minutes of you talking to the camera though. Film some stuff of you doing your hobbies beign with your family whatever and if you've got someone with editing skills you can record a track of you talking over the top of these images.
But yeah try and find some reason you need the money like a sick relative or a third nipple or something.

I basically ran out of time to make a video that i would be happy with, so I just got something made so as to not miss the deadline submission. I guess 10 days for a working stiff like me isn't enough time to get all the ducks in a row

Posted it to the Pokerstars upload site, but it didn't give me a link or anything so that I could share it.

When I get a chance, I will post it up on youtube and share it for those interested in the less than stellar submission

For future reference, the ducks are on another thread, there's even a pic of several in a row.

Seriously though good luck jhook, I'm sure they'll be looking at your personality and your story over any video production values.
