...and runs his mouth a lot in a confrontational way.

I haven't noticed Gold being confrontational. He certainly talks a lot, though.

[/ QUOTE ]


confrontational may be the wrong word. it's just sorta semi-aggressive table captain stuff. things like "i'll show you when you fold."

honestly, what is the hate on Gold? he HASN'T been acting an ass, just talking way too much than is appropriate for the table. people all off a sudden decided to start hating on him because he went on a sick heater starting late in the tourney, but to his credit, he has rarely gotten his money in badly, and is doing a pretty effective job of inducing calls and bluffs when he has the best of it. he might not be your horse, but he should be commended.

It's easy for anybody to be nice and friendly while they are winning. I think you get a much better look at 'the real' somebody when they lose or take a bad beat. And Gold didn't seem to handle it very well or be very nice about it.

Dave W is the anti-ngueun in the booth.

I'd rather hear David Williams mother talk.

The dude just rubs me the wrong way, jeezus. Why are you guys making a federal case out of me not liking this guy? I don't care if he's the second coming of Phil Ivey, I don't like him.

LOL at the people applauding the suckout. Gold has put his money in as the favorite every time. Guess you guys loved seeing Aaron Kanter again on the dinner break.

It's natural for people to hate someone overachieving.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's really not hate, or out of line. He's been in big pots vs an allin as a favorite a few times, before that one they've all held up. Sometimes you get unlucky; he hasn't gotten unlucky yet tonight (or much all tournament I'm sure) and I think it's pretty weak to whine when you still have a huge chip lead. For contrast, think about how Cunningham would react to the exact same situation. Don't begrudge him his big chip lead or anything, just think the "can I play any better" is unnecessary.

HAND 139 - Blinds: 150k/300k, Ante: 50k

AC on the button. Wasicka raises to 1m. Binger announces raise. He's all-in! Back to Wasicka. It's 5.3m more to call. Wasicka folds.
