Re: Jamie Gold not that bad
A lot of his table talk seemed to be aimed at encouraging a 'climb the payout ladder' mentality amongst the shorter stacks. "When you get to the final table, anything can happen." "Only 7 more to go." "Trust me, you should be happy I knocked him out."
He wanted them to avoid showdowns, so he could hoover up all the chips. When you go to the final table and one guy has almost half the chips, anything can happen, but it's highly likely he will win. Kim saw through it, but I can't say others did.
If you look at his table talk as having a purpose, it was still mildly annoying, but nothing I wouldn't do if it gave me a better shot at $12m.
