Do you even know what happened?

He bragged to a forum buddy via AIM that he was still alive in the tourney and at the final table. His buddy was at the FT of a different tourney and posted about both of them.

Just like anyone would do here. "Hey, me and dumbass are at the FTs of two tourneys, come railbird!"

Only people on the forum were already aware that JJ had busted out early on with his own account. So, when people were like, "what the fuck" and ready to report to party he made up the story about his grandma. What choice did he have? Well, maybe to stop and think for another 3 minutes and realize that story was shit.

When he realized that not everyone on the internet is in middle school, and that he was busted, he tried to salvage himself and THEN decided to "come clean."

Losing 140k and having the entire poker world think you're a jackass? What's to enjoy about that?
