jaime gold = spew

Weird that the thread became a discussion about mucking/showing hands when in fact Gold played like a superdonk and got humiliated by Doyle calling his raise on the river fairly quickly with Ace high...
When gold actually had Aces he played them equally dumb by going all in preflop instead of keeping his single opponent (2nd worst at the table by far) in the hand and let him catch something. His table image was definately weak enough so that Ramdin would`ve at least called him down with anything (or in the actual case bet at any flop).

I gave Gold the benefit of the doubt before that play, (=making idiot plays to lure an opponent in when he actually has a real hand) but by wasting this great chance in such a donkalicious way... He`s really a bad player.
I`m sure Ramdin would ve bet on ANY kind of flop after his $8k raise and that would`ve been Gold`s chance to cash in.
So if (!!!) Gold had actually planned this out he wouldn`t have wasted this chance, because that would`ve been EXACTLY the hand he was hoping for, holding AA and see a big raise from another player.
After seeing this hand I doubt that he`s thinking anything at all while playing and the donkplay before was no setup at all, but just, well...donkplay.

Quoted for emphasis. I liked Mike saying he would've staked his life on the fact Gold had aces, it was that obvious.

We know Gold is a donk against nits when the stacks are large. Gold knows that Gold is a donk against nits when the stacks are large. Luckily for him, the most important factors in winning tournaments are how you play against fish and how you play when the stacks are not large. So it's just not that interesting to say that he's a bad cash game player and he's bad at bowling as well.
