jaime gold = spew

I say let Jaime do anything he wants, say anything he wants, pull any cheap trick he wants.

As long as he leaves his money on the table before he goes home.

wait what ended up happening with the litigation stuff

i was kind of annoyed that matusow implied that everyone at the final table fell for jamies antics. seven out of the eight other players were eliminated by him. seven.

By the transitive property that eighth player may very well be the best in the world. If he would only step out of the shadows and identify himself.

I disagree with you but that is ok. He has every right to attempt and get the calling player to show his cards. I was simply saying that I would not allow him to try and pull his little trick on me time after time. Again, the way it happened is as follows:

It would be the river and Gold would bet and the Player would call. Gold would hold the crads in his hands not showing the cards and would say a little speech like "you got me" and would wait for the calling player to show his hand before Gold would muck his hand. Gold could muck his cards and the Calling player would have to show his hand to win the pot. But, as it played out, Gold could wait until the Calling player showed his hand and if the hand was an inferior hand, then Gold could show his hand and take down the pot. However, the Calling player is calling and as a result has paid for the information of what range of cards Gold is playing (and betting) with. The Calling player is allowing Jamie to protect the information that the Caller is entitled to see. This is not a situation where the caller was not showing his hand, here Gold (the player that last initiated the action) would not show his hand and the Caller has paid for it.

With regard why it is a topic of discussion, it is because this is a poker forum where like minded people enjoy discussing such matters. I have no problem if we disagree, I was just commenting on an observation. If you look at the other posts, they all agree that I am correct, but given the circumstances may handle it differently than me. I particularly, liked the one poster who would let a losing player continue to pull his little move so as not to disuade him from playing so badly.

The last thing that has happened is that the Judge denied Gold's petition to dissolve the Temprary injuction that ordered the Rio to continue to hold the $6.1 million.

Doug, do you think you are as good a player as JG? The entire final table seemed very amateurish aside from a few of Cunningham's reads.

Also: How many races/suckouts would you guess you survived to make the final table?

Thanks, Dave

Why the hell does it make any difference if Jamie holds onto his cards until the other guy flips his hand? The result of him mucking is EXACTLY the same. It is a breech of etiquette for the calling player to ask to see Jamie's hand.

Would you give us an idea of how many coin flips, races, overpair situations you survived to make it to the FT?

about a billion
