Oh man. I hope your wife isn't listening to this part of your blueprint. First you don't remember when you got engaged and they you say 'it doesn't matter' ???? ;-)

Hey Jared - enjoyed listening. It sounds to me like you have exactly the right priorities to be happy in life.

I can only echo your sentiments around time and the importance of it - as long as you can appreciate how important it is, otherwise you can simply waste it. I have made some very fortunate choices in my life that have allowed me, fairly recently, to spend about 18 months with my wife and young family - I wouldn't swap that time for any money in the world. BUT I was only able to do so because of hard work coupled with good fortune (outside of the poker world).

Enjoy your family and I hope your wife is forgiving about forgetting when you proposed....I suspect she might know the date, time, what you were wearing, what she was wearing.....

haha you think 'pretty sure' is going to be the answer you want to give your wife if she asks you?

If I where U i would digg into the books and figure out when it was... ;-)

Words to live by for relationship advice for sure!

Before I listen to this, is the "oldballs" to "crawfish" ratio fairly balanced?

Great job, Jared

somehow impossible to balance two equally awesome forces

This was truly an awesome videoJared. I can relate a tremendous amount to all the relationship stuff. As I was hearing this, I kinda realized why my last break up has been so hard for me. I was together with a girl for 2.5 years, giving her my everything. She was always nice and never cheated or anything, but she didn't give as much back, in terms of love. So the dissapointment when she broke up...the feeling of being "betrayed" by someone you loved so much...whom you had given so much....I think that really got stuck in me..

If I stop for a moment and think about it, you have everything I hope for in life, BUT I'm not a fan of going around hoping for things to happen.. Like you said, just continuing to take good choices will be for the best, and life will turn out good, in a way or another I have a pretty awesome life atm, don't get me wrong, but I really appreciated the words about relationships, which is not a common subject to talk about in poker. It may show weaknesses to be an emotional person, and people stay away from the topic. I think you just, and I think I do the same as a successful player myself, proved that to be wrong!

Thanks!

thx for watching, i knew at least one person would like my relationship stuff

Hey Jared,

Thanks for talking so openly about your relationships and the like. I personally really recognised a lot of myself in what you were saying. As someone who has been married for almost 3 years (and been with the same woman since I was 18, so nearly 9 years) I understand how important your partner is in your overall life enjoyment and mental well being. I think it is very useful to hear your take on relationships, as it is a point which is often overlooked and some people may not realise how important it is.

Good job on the vid, and I wish you continued success and happiness in the future.

You could be solid life coach or relationship coach.

Congrats on becoming a Dad! Doesn't seem so long ago you were complaining about baby showers. Time flies!

When you said "my current wife," I thought we were going down a Norman Chad story there for a minute haha.

"Wow, that was awful." LOL

Just listened to this Blueprint and I have to say you have one of the best perspectives on life and poker. Thanks!

Nice Job JK3A, really enjoyed it.

Two Suggestions / Questions:

Since you have been in the golf business and on the golf team can you suggest me some books or working material to improve my game - especially the management aspect on the course - that is which club to use under which circumstances, which route to take on each hole etc.

Second: I guess you are very good at golf - why dont you take People with a big ego like Negreanu etc. on for a challange ? Based on what i saw on TV his golf is good but not excellent so you can challange him and win his money

It's not quite that simple to get a money game going.

First, DN or someone similar has almost no reason to gambol with jared. I doubt just hitting him up on 2p2 or twitter will get a game. DN has plenty of people with whom to play money games.

Then, if a game came together, Jared would have to give strokes to DN. If Jared is a -2 (a good and reasonable handicap for a pro) and DN is a +12 (I think I've heard that he shoots in the mid-80s) then Jared would be giving up 14 stroked a round to level the playing field. One handicaps are accounted for it becomes about who plays best with the monies on the line.

To get any sort of stakes that are meaningful/worthwhile to a person like DN, it may be out of jk3a's BR.

All just imo, but if you get a game Jared, I'd be down to be on your bag.

What james said about golf. As far as books, i'm a big fan of harvey penick books.

very enjoyable to listen to

after all the messed up poker players that you hear and see that obv have got no concept of balance its good to see someone who really gets the whole picture

gl with everything.

great story...
