My first experience with JRB was watching him on survivor. I only recently started learning about the big names in poker, and it makes me have such a better appreciation for him. It seems like he played Survivor the same way he played poker. Fast and loose with a silver tongue that got him in trouble at times. Started on the bottom, then next minute he’s on top, then the next he’s voted out.
The handful of times I've met JRB, he was always the nicest guy and very personable. I was surprised that he remembered me each time, and I'm the definition of a nobody.
@@glennhagstedt hahahaha lol Phil laak is a tight nit wad with a vpip of under 18. He’s a no action nit whose entire bankroll was piggy backed off of Jennifer Tilly’s divorce settlement. No action Phil He’s an actor. A lame fake genius actor… he’s not even entertaining. This is a great channel but I’m not even sure he’s a poker player. The doc on Jerry Yang ended with the incredible miracle of the main event; yet didn’t mention he went completely broke, sold his ring; and filed for bankruptcy. So if you want a fantastical imaginary tale of Phil laak whatever…, but the dude is as exciting as a vomit bag.
@@glennhagstedt his money? I assure you none of that is his money. It all comes from Jen Tilly’s divorce settlement from when she was married to the creator of the Simpson.
JRB is one of my favorite ppl to watch. from his antics when he’s winning to him staring sick into the abyss while sippin on his glass of wine. Character and good for the game
How is this comment not removed from the forum? It don't bother me at all but the stick up the ass, liberal censors at RUclips would have banned me for a day for this observation.
He is definitely not broke, the guy has alot of money. His family is rich. Like really rich. Yes he lost alot, but honestly he is not a good player, and he is probably the most unlucky player i ever seen.
It’s weird looking back at some of the older footage from late 2010’s when many players were sponsored by Bodog and everybody at the table seemed to dress like Fred Durst but with an FTP badge on their hats. This was when I first got hooked on poker. Here I am all these years later and I rarely even play these days but still love watching videos about it.
I understand that on the surface of playing tournaments/cash that JRB has swings and may appear broke at times. Those in the poker community know, without delving too much into it, JRB has spun his popularity and great hosting ability into a fairly significant life for himself. High stakes live games like the ones in Ivey's room didn't just disappear, they just moved.
He's not the same person any more. Being broke and young is a lot different then being broke and old. People respect broke and young guys. Broke and old guys don't even respect themselves.
I was washing my hands and heard chips clicking .. in the mirrors I could see someone cutting checks on the floor in the stall under the door … can’t recall for sure what casino it was
I was unfortunate enough to become his banker in early 2005/2006 & he is a big guy with not much talent to win whether cash or tournaments. !!! Biggest fish in the game.
I've watched him just light money on fire soo many times. He plays so bad sometimes if he didn't have backers he woulda been picking up trash or working at Wendy's
JRB's real talent is hosting and controlling the big games so that he can determine lineups and who is playing. That's how he has gotten financial backers because they want into the games that JRB controls.
man those boom years are so interesting. so many people made careers out of the game, and only a handful remain. i remember watching the old main events as a kid and seeing every table having 4-6 young 20 something year old full time pros. most tables today at WSOP events have maybe 1 or 2 full time pros max, and they are rarely under 35 years old . and most super high rollers today are full of the very best crushers from the late stages of the online era of 2008-2011 as well. no more 21 and 22 year old crushers who honed their skills and bankroll online. bring back fully legal online poker!

You are not a nobody bud!
Jrb is a millionaire from playing poker, when he started he was a billionare.
haha
he was not
@@sep_nehtar That's called a joke. Google it.
@@sep_nehtar why are you stupid?
@@sep_nehtar u understand sarcasm?
great video. can you make one on phil laak?
Great idea
Please don’t. That guy is vanilla
@@JCBCoin Phil Laak is pretty fkn far from vanilla, he has a great story and has been incredibly savy with his money and time.

I often wonder how these folks have their bankroll just replenish out of thin air or maybe I’m not crediting how much they have to begin with
I thought he was trust fund guy whose family owned wineries 🤷♂️.
Hey man. How can I contact you about a business opportunity?

Every time I watch Vanessa Selbts I wonder if she’s the one who wears the strap on
Honestly have to wonder ??
Exactly Justin !! Lol.

I’m pretty sure she has a real one
Excuse me for not knowing. What does Selbst have to do with JRB?
I watched him get sloppy drunk at a high stakes table. NOT good poker sense to do something like that.
Say more...
Sure but somehow he still relevant and playing at the highest level. Which is impressive. To be in the poker scene for over 15 years is hard
Very entertaining, though, which is what you want in a live stream.
He is definitely not broke, the guy has alot of money. His family is rich. Like really rich. Yes he lost alot, but honestly he is not a good player, and he is probably the most unlucky player i ever seen.
Glad to see he can bounce back from his losses. Hope to sit for a roubd with him someday. Great video! :)
Appreciate it - thanks for watching!
Throughout his poker career, one constant has stayed the same, the alcohol.
And whats wrong with that
Bore off
JRB has a famous homegame in Vegas. The rake from those games can be insane. Pretty sure he keeps pros away too, so he cleans up when he's off stream.
Cap
New sub
Hell yeah. Welcome!
he could have made millions on likeability alone.
If I was a poker player, I would be him. Nice guy
JRB is awesome, gentlemen win or lose and always an action player.
I always liked JRB, he would always chat with the rail on Full Tilt.
If he wasn't playing high stakes he wouldn't have gone broke.
Most of them don't know when to quit.
I don’t believe his background story for a second.
Andrew Robl stakes him apparently because he attracts the billionaire types.

This is part of being a poker player,feast or famine
I’ve seen him win once on a high stakes stream.
He is a regular i saw him lots of times in high stakes
And he won a million

100%
No idea he played in Prague
He's not the same person any more. Being broke and young is a lot different then being broke and old. People respect broke and young guys. Broke and old guys don't even respect themselves.
Life of a gambler. ups and downs
The poker pros that go broke are the ones that play with their own money . Having sponsors is one way to not go broke
Most likable poker player out there
I once stood at the urinal next to him at Aria. He ran out of the bathroom to get back to the poker table without washing his hands. True story.
Gross
Yuck...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Typical degen 🙄
When I play against him I always look for yellow stains on the aces.

His banker?
We love watching people lose everything…………it’s funny as hell
He still gambles hard on pool
I've watched him just light money on fire soo many times. He plays so bad sometimes if he didn't have backers he woulda been picking up trash or working at Wendy's
Ich dachte immer der Type ist Geschäftsmann , kein poker Spieler 😂
A great majority are broke. You can’t play high stakes & make it profitable
Wonder which games he would play now if his parents had stayed in haiti
Amazing someone can lose 10s of millions a year net and still have plenty cash from fools that “sponsor” him to burn their cash.
Because it's not true. He gets in games most pros cant. In these huge games hes good
Life of a gambler
Hey Kyle! What’s up 🙂?
Jamal! Enjoy the video :)
Bank of robl, financial codependent enabler,,,, degenning is fn awesome!
He’s like a brown Vince Vaughn.
You didn’t say anything
"the way"
Always loved Bobby Belland
he is in dubai now playing $100/$200/$400 plo. poor guy how does he manage
Theres games in Dubai?
@@WeLuvPES plenty
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
🤦🏻♂️
so dumb, so not funny, so unoriginal.. you nailed it cupcake
JRB is a thousandaire!
Doesn't address the obvious.... Where does he get his money?
It sucks to be broke but you can't make money your God. You can always get more money.
Grind that 1/2 😂
This info is Bs. Just saw him play with 500-800k cash game
Which part is BS?
He has the worst luck in poker.
Mike Matusow disagrees.
Bro matasu is a top earner in hsp and has 4 wsop bracelets@@theejayzeeable
Rampage?
Niiiiice
It’s a symbiotic relationship with Andrew Roble and him. Roble is his backer; but needs JRB in the game to bring in the whales.
Alcohol …
I was in the mood so i hit that subscribe button
Haha hell yeah
Lol
Bash him
Then glorify him 😂
This is life!
JRB is about as bad as NIk Airball. These two poker players will be broke like the rest of them. Tom Dwan, JRB, Nik Airball. The three broke amigo.
JRB's real talent is hosting and controlling the big games so that he can determine lineups and who is playing. That's how he has gotten financial backers because they want into the games that JRB controls.
he’s so underrated.. people dont appreciate him .. i always liked the dude even though he’s a alittle doofy ..wish the best for him
I couldn't put my finger on the voice narration and I finally got it! Reminds me of Bar Rescue lol

A fool and his money.......
This dude is a millionaire and he has a mansion in summerlin Las Vegas😂😂😂 do your fucking research kid. This dude is far from broke😂😂
Watch the video dude
Charm
Down swing= bad luck
= not recommended playing further even a second
Knowing/ accepting it= control of MONEY at poker
It is what it is, w jrb,,,,,,,,,,,, heeeheee!
He's Asian??!
Lol Haitian. Parents are from Haiti.
JRB retire. Play some 1/2 drink some beers
Nice guy but can’t win at poker. Has to go broke!
Goblets,,,,,,
Gambler addicts have no chance at ever having anything!
You have zero proof he ever went broke. Quit lying
I guess he thrives in this even if he also was a Survivor contestant.
He was broke so he entered the $50k PPC. Damn, I wish I was broke
JRB lives to entertain real poker players
Whoa! Not what I expected from that guy.
Oh whaaaat i didn't know he grew up in Taiwan! That's awesome.
They are all broke
JRB is NOT a very good player.
I saw JRB playing 3,000 minimum blackjack at aria at 6AM on a Monday 😂😂
Really?
@@menamarina8368 yeah lol good times
still think you can make a living at poker? LMAO.
His parents were\are Christian missionaries if I recall right. May Jesus is knocking on his door to turn his focus a bit ❤. Satan went after him?
Left out the wife and child lol
So his parents eat the cats?
Robert has the best sense of humor good guy Robert is
Everybody loves jean robert
He's the man
I like him more now knowing he’s of Haitian decent. Seem to be pulling for Haitians these days.
Not everybody.. You got your haters out there..
Who really cares?
