‘True Life’, the MTV documentary series that generally focuses on youth sub and co-cultures, is looking for an online poker player to round out the cast of an upcoming episode.

The poker player selected will be featured in an installment focused on people who lead “double lives”, at least insomuch that they have two (or more) distinct aspects of their life that are kept relatively hidden or secret from one another. The more your life matches that description, the more likely you are to be cast.

Below find the casting notice and contact information passed along to us by the team producing this installment of True Life:

I’m producing a documentary for MTV’s True Life about people who lead “double lives” online. We’re reaching out to a number of different online groups and cultures, and we thought it could be fascinating to profile someone who gambles online. The key thing we’re looking for is that potential characters lead real lives that are VERY different to their online gambling. Perhaps this person keeps gambling a secret to friends and family, perhaps their earnings are being used to offset tuition costs or helping to pay for a sick relative’s bills, or perhaps this person simply betrays the stereotype of who an online gambler really is (do you work at a nonprofit and you gamble? are you religious and you gamble? are you a model and you gamble? etc.).

Please ONLY respond if you lead a CONVINCING “double life” in relation to the online gambling, you are between the ages of 18-28, and you reside in the US. Email your story, age, and a photo to: brosen@leftright.tv (Left Right is a NYC-based production company hired by MTV to produce this show)

Thanks!

The setup: You're fairly new to this table and you picked up a pot quick when you flopped a set and won a decent multi-way pot. You've been fairly active since, seeing a lot of flops cheap and playing for the win on the flop or turn in a couple of spots.

This hand you're dealt AQo UTG and you decide to limp. The button limps and both blinds play. You flop top pair:

The SB leads out for $6. The BB folds. You make it $24 and the button folds. The SB calls. The turn gives you two pair with the Ac. The SB checks and you pop $40 into $54. The SB flat calls.
