About Jamie Gold...
 

Here's a guy that IMO plays Ok, no problem with that. He has claimed that he 'doesn't want to carry the responsibility of World Champion' essentially it's too much trouble...(but would like the money..) that's in print and on video.

I thought he was disrespectful to Allen (among others') when he knocked him out (with the worst hand).

He CONTINUES to get Chan's opinions DURING THE GAME (one player to a hand?)

I question his ettiquete, table talk goes too far IMO.

The deck has hit this guy who appears from that couldn't carry the lunch of most pros IMHO.

He acts IMO like he's God's gift. Sorry but this guy currently disgusts me and I'm sad that he apparently will represent the 'World Champion' for a game that most of us love.

What a joke. My opinion, sorry if I offend anyone, it's not intentional. Turned out to be one of the weakest final tables in recent years IMHO.

Other than Cunningham what were expecting?

I mean Doug plays like 5-10 NLH live doesnt he?

Obviously these 2 were passivedonkeys....

The old Asian guy just couldnt lay JJ with a zillion chips left.......

Seriously why would anyone think this was a great final table?

As long as it's not during a hand, there is no issue here. You guys are searching for a reason to hate.

The f'ing guy led for 4 days. Did the deck hit him for 4 days or did he actually play some good poker. Give the guy a f'ing break. He dominated the tournament.

Serously I don't get why everyone hates this guy. Yes he got lucky but there was almost 8800 people in this tournament. Luck plays about half of this tournament anyway and with this many people with very little pro tournament experience luck is even more important. Yes he does talk alot but anybody who spends more than 6 hours on the weekends at the Borgata has heard worse from more spoiled brats.

I mean christ did everybody here who won a tournament do it by 100% skill and needed no luck or no fishy opponent plays or no suckouts. And if you were that great then why the hell aren't you in the main event.

Face it poker is mostly about luck at the right moment mixed with skill. Gold hit it and congrats to him. Most of the people sounds like jealous old men right now

Sorry for the rudenesss.

It's not our goddamn responsibility to give the luckbox some credit. The deck hit him in the face for 4 days, yes.
