Buss > Gold

both are probably -EV in the game, but Buss much less so just because he seemed alot more ABC.

Gold has no concept of preflop starting reqs. or position it would seem, most likely because he thinks he'll be able to take the pot away later with bizarre bluffs. The fact that 4+ people are in routinely the freaking hand doesn't seem to dissaude him.

This strategy might not be so terrible in a game with people who had no idea how you played or against total passive rocks but every top player at that table knows his M.O. to heart, they have probably played with players exactly like him many many many times.

I very well might be biased (I openly admit to hating Gold) but he's by far the worst player I've seen thus far on all three seasons (it's close between him and Shaminari the gynocologist dude)

[Whitewash]

Doyle Brunson
Daniel Alaei



Daniel Negreanu
Mike Matusow


Bill Chen

Jamie Gold

Victor Ramdin
Sean Sheikhan

I like Doyle and Mike Matusows game the most so far this season.

[Assani Fisher]

Are we supposed to rank the players just on how they've played so far this season or on how good we think they're overall?

[Tom1975]

You're seriously putting Gold head of Ramdin and Sheiky? I think Gold would have a tough time beating a live 2/5 game. I think he's even worse than Buss. I mean Buss is weak-tight and might as well play his hand face up but he'll lose his chips at a much slower rate than Gold.

Meh, they would prolly be winning players in 2/5 LIVE, but thats b/c most live players suck really bad.

2/4 NL and higher online and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Ramdin, Gold, Sheiky, and Buss were all losing players.

[restrikt]

Wow who knew Jamie Gold was THIS bad. I thought he was supposed to be decent... but he is just BAD BAD BAD.

So Johnny Chan a crappy coach? =)

Some of these players are such spew monekys it's ridiculous. Doyle just sits back and plays ABC, and everyone spews chips his away, esp. Ramdin/Gold.

I like this list. I don't really remember much from Sheiky, but Ramdin and Gold have played really, really bad from what I've seen so far in season 3.

[Theo_Brixton]

I suspect Ramdin is usually better than he's showing, they said he has been mentored by Ivey. I think he ran into a lot of hands and was played back at, and he started steaming. He also got short stacked, the reason for some of his wilder plays (the KJ push etc).
