I think Gabe was well aware of Gold's true reputation in poker because he seemed to be eager to say less than favorable things about Gold's play. And he was quick to point out Matusow's comments about Gold getting hit with the deck during WSOP2006. Overall Gold seemed to play a ton of hands but he did have a fair number of decent starting hands. Matusow played pretty well during the first episode.
