Luck plays about half of this tournament anyway

Try more like 99.99%. Luck will never allow anyone to turn $10,000 turnament chips into $90,000,000 tournament chips half of the time, no matter how talented they are.

The real reason Gold was tired at the end of the tournament was from the Deck slapping him silly. He seemed to win every race like Raymer did and deserved to win.

I like the guy. Congrats to him.

There were no hole card cams, just how do you folks "know" he wasn't playing his azz off. Sure looked that way to me. None of the other softies, wanted to get in there and mix it up.

As far as table talk goes, it's something that most of the online weenies deal with by turning their chat off. You can't do that in the real world.
You think that he talked half the smack of A. Slim in his prime, and Slim was thought of as a very valuable asset to poker all the times he was on Carson's show.
Table talk has always been involved in live poker. Three years ago we were even allowed to say the word F**K at the table.

Three years ago we could smoke , drink, and curse at the poker table.
And, if you can't sell a hand, live poker probably just isn't for you. Nowhere did I see him cross the line on table talk.
He did flash a card once that I saw. But even that was a fully exceptable tactic, in the pre - boom days.

Did you see his post game interview? If not, hopefully it's around somewhere, it certainly changed my mind of him. I really had no feelings one way or the other except amusement at all the hate. After watching the interview I think he's a pretty good guy.

you mean the interview where he says "i'm great at the psychological part of the game" and "they all just played their cards, but i was playing them. i tricked them into giving me all of their money."

what a loser.

Oh yes he won the races - QQ vrs JJ twice when he maneuvered his opponents into making bad decisions for all their chips against him.

Did you even WATCH or are you simply jealous and whining?

Gold put on a clinic on how to play BIG STACK poker. He muscled that final table time after time after time - He also was smart enough to sit back for reasonable stretches and shift gears in his play.

Did he get "lucky" at times - WELL OF COURSE HE DID. You every know ANYONE that won a major event that didn't?

Here's a guy that IMO plays Ok, no problem with that. He has claimed that he 'doesn't want to carry the responsibility of World Champion' essentially it's too much trouble...(but would like the money..) that's in print and on video.

I thought he was disrespectful to Allen (among others') when he knocked him out (with the worst hand).

He CONTINUES to get Chan's opinions DURING THE GAME (one player to a hand?)

I question his ettiquete, table talk goes too far IMO.

The deck has hit this guy who appears from that couldn't carry the lunch of most pros IMHO.

He acts IMO like he's God's gift. Sorry but this guy currently disgusts me and I'm sad that he apparently will represent the 'World Champion' for a game that most of us love.

What a joke. My opinion, sorry if I offend anyone, it's not intentional. Turned out to be one of the weakest final tables in recent years IMHO.

You should really make it clear whether this is your opinion or not, cause I can't tell. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
