No.

By "no," I assume you mean "yes," especially since the hole card cameras showed us Doyle folding the 3rd nuts.

When I have the 3rd nuts against a crazy man, and I feel he has a good hand, this makes me happy. I know he will stack off when I shove.

I meant no.

First, you need to figure out that making the right choice at the time is different from making the choice that would make you the most money if you knew the other guys hand.

Second, they're DEEP STACKED. Stop thinking in terms of "I have the third best hand. What are the chances someone has a hand better then mine?". Start thinking in terms of "If I get all my money in here how often will I be good? Is this a good play". For various reasons Doyle decided that getting his money in there wasn't a good idea. I agree with him, I actually commented to a friend while watching that Gabe was wrong when he said Gold was going to lose a lot of money on that hand. I thought it was pretty obvious that Doyle would be forced to fold to the check-raise.
