yeah i sat there the whole time going OMG JAMIE GOLD UR A MORON and then at the end i was thinking "wow, could he have been a level above there?" I'll assume no.

wonder what it's like to be Sammy and experience the outrageous swings he must constantly have?

[The 13th 4postle]

I think Sammie is the moron because he didn't get it all in on the flop. Jamie did something other poker players can't do and talked his way into saving $200,000+

Jamie was on level 1.

Sammy was on level 4 or 5 and confusing himself.

The standard play against Jamie still seems to work. Ask him what he has and he'll just tell you.

I wish they would stop talking about the hand. Sammy is trying to make himeself not look so stupid by "acting" like he was helping Gold. Sammy lost his nerve. Why didn't sammy just go all in on all the pre-flop garbage.

i think the biggest improvement i would like to see in season 5 would be to do away with running it twice. i know this supposedly popular in high stakes cash but i know i and am assuming most people watch to see big sums of money to be thrown around and see people get emotional after losing a lot of money etc. Running it twice to a chopped pot which it has so far it almost always has resulted in makes it much less of a gamble and not as enertaining. They build the show up as the "biggest cash game televised" and have previews of players shoving in bundles of money, then so far all of the big pots have been divided up. Yea it might make for tighter play but definitly not less interesting play. My $.02 anyway...

Yeah, my girlfriend was screaming at the TV (and myself) for a good half hour because of Jamie's rhetoric.

God damnit, I'm pissed off at that guy on the last page who said we're childishly mean to him. The guy is a world-class tool. He'd make a great character on the office.

Either Guy is terrible or a [censored] genius. What a sick c/r against Jamie with JJ on 9765 board.
