Whether it's J6o or 52s is irrelevent. Knowing the specific cards doesn't give you any more relevent information.

Um, this is wrong. If I have little to no read on how a guy is playing and I see he raised pre-flop with J2o in MP, I'm going to think a lot differently of him than if he did it with 98s. Knowing what he limped/called a raise/raised with pre-flop is extremely relevant.

This may make you feel more comfortable, but it is bad. You already have a read, you know that he's playing more than just 98s because he is frequently in the pot, and you've seen him on TV.

Once someone is caught with trash you don't know whether they'll change their play. Especially Jamie Gold who is way too tricky for his own good. Against him, you just want to play ABC while putting him on a fairly wide hand range, and let him hang himself. Obviously you are playing a strategy where he can't beat you through bluffing trash. So if he's playing J2o, don't make him show it and he will likely continue playing into your hands.
