OK, Jackpot Jay had this to say on ESPN.com.

With one limper already in -- the button -- I completed the small blind to $100 with A-8 unsuited. The big blind checked. The flop came J-6-3, all clubs, and my ace was a club. I checked, the big blind bet $500, the button called, and I called, since I was getting better than 2-1 pot odds (though probably not much in the way of implied odds, since, if a fourth club showed up, it would have been hard to get anybody to call for any amount, no matter how small).



If his thinking is that if a 4th club shows up he won't get any action, why is he playing this hand? He is probably behind after the flop, and if the board pairs he has to worry about a full house.

Yea, which brings me to my next point. He said that for the year he was a "Pro", he is down a total of $1,000. How the hell could ESPN let him do something like this? They should have found a real pro and had him follow the guy around to show how he did.
