Jamie Gold - Putting Things in Perspective

All these mopes did nothing but watch. Again, Jamie got away with all that stuff because the other players let him get away; they have only themselves to blame.

err... no. That's like saying we have everyone to blame for Barry Bonds taking steroids except for Barry Bonds. Gold's actions were wrong whether he is called out or not. He is an adult and he is responsible for his own behavior. Logic like the kind in your quote has enabled cheaters for ages and is just plain retarded.

But this is a really stupid thing to be arguing about because there is only one person who posts regularly on 2p2 who played with Gold late in the ME, and I don't think I've heard him (or any of the other players, for that matter) griping about Gold's behavior in a public way. It is the people who watched it on TV that have had such a negative reaction to him and we are all entitled to our opinions.

Your argument is completely misdirected and the analogy is wrong. My point is this: Jamie got away with the things he did because people let him get away with it. I certainly would not have let him get away with those things, but the others at the table, at least from the TV edit, simply sat there. That top top hand is clearly a collusive hand TV editing or not, and NO ONE had that looked into. They didn't cause Jamie to act that way, but they did nothing in reaction to it, and for that they are responsible and shouldn't complain about anything.

About this 2+2'er, I don't know who he is, but was he in that top top hand? did he see Jamie flash the jack at the final table? What was his reaction to either?

THE HUN.
