Default Re: Jamie Gold - Putting Things in Perspective

It's interesting at the final table to watch Gold constantly avoid confrontations with Cunningham. He never really plays a pot out of position against AC, and when in position, frequently checks behind with semi-strong hands. Then, when he gets the opportunity to maybe have a coinflip situation to eliminate Cunningham, he jumps all over it

Of everything that Gold did at the final table, I think this was the most underrated. He recognized that he wasn't going to outplay the best player at the table, and compensated. I wonder if that was something Johnny Chan told him before the final table
