Jean-Robert Bellande uses Twitter to discuss bankroll swings.
A lot of poker players use Twitter to connect with other players or to tweet about their lives and successes. Jean-Robert Bellande is using Twitter for something a little different these days. The gambling man, who is still best remembered for his stint on Survivor, is tweeting about his busted bankroll.
Bellande admitted on the 2+2 forums that he went bust playing some cash games. He is currently working on rebuilding the bankroll “by any means necessary” and tweeting about the bets, the swings and the sessions along the way.
Here are some examples of Bellande’s Tweeterific posts:
"Stopped into Bellagio today. Dropped 1k playing 60-120 hold'em. Fuhs paid me $300 I had forgotten about. BR now at 1k."
"Huck Seed and Joe C just offered me a 5k free-roll for running a 9 min mile. Lol. current BR= $800"
"On my way to the track. Extremely out of shape and nervous."
"I died after the 3rd lap. I was right on pace. :-( BR -800."
"playing 2-5 at the B with a hot 'friend' stuck $600."
"Huck side bet me $1500 that I could not run the 200m in 33 sec. 31.7 sec Bankroll: 3k"
Boarding my flight to LA. On my way to Greece. Bankroll:
