Default Re: Jamie Gold...Worst Possible Winner?

They did leave out that he had played live cash games a LOT in the past. It is all about how ESPN pushes someone.

Which leads to ... how can ZBT or anyone know whether Gold will be good or not until we know how ESPN creates him? It really is up to ESPN ... they can make him out to be a great guy, or a jerk. I am guessing that you will hear very little of the table talk ... or at least none that will make him look like a tool.

We have to remember that we saw the whole thing over 10 days, thousands of posts in dozens of sweat threads, and then 12 hours of PPV. We saw the unadulterated and unedited Gold (whom I happened to like). But what the people you are hoping will start playing poker because of the WSOP will see ... well, we have no idea.
