Gold is a bad player??? Really, why is he steamrolling the top pros on Season 4 on HSP??? Funny how thats works.

Yang raises with A5o. Gets re-raised by tight passive old guy (Rahme). Yang calls. Flop is Axx. TPOG pushes all in. Yang: "I don't think I can fold this (surprise)... I think you're on a draw! I call! Thank you Jesus!"

Case closed.

Raymer/Hachem >>>> Gold >>>> Yang/Varkonyi

Do guys have selective memories or something?

Gold caught a lot of cards in his run. It's easy to mouth it up at the table when you flop straights.

He was the dominating chip leader for a long time. He could afford to splash around in every pot.

WTF, this poll is liking asking who's sexier between Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones.

Who cares, they both suck.

please ban for anti gay/racist sentiments

To think that the poster was being anti gay and/or racist is really a revelation of your own homophobia and racism. The poster clearly was referring to the scientifically proven fact that they are both physically disgusting. That is not based on Star Jones being black or Rosie O'Donnel being gay. If he used Halle Berry or Portia De Rossi as examples then you may be correct.

By 'steamrolling' do you mean making multiple bad, low-percentage bluffs and showing them all? Or do you mean missing clear, hugely obvious in-position value bet spots, that are even more obvious considering the bluffy image he has? 'steamrolling' = playing horrible (but winning)?

Jamie Gold is definitely a better player. He accomplished the same thing with a scalpel that Yang accomplished with an axe. Gold did his thing by talking people into confusion post-flop, while Yang was out to lunch if the hand ever got to the turn.

Remember his awesome play against Prahlad F... talking him
off of his pocket 77's, when Prahlad had the perfect read
on him.

I wish I sucked enough to take down the Main Event.

For all the hating, the point of poker is to win money, and they both won more than I can ever hope to. If I could emulate them, I would, and I would laugh my nuts off at losers telling me I can't play poker.

You should be more tolerant of political candidates who ring your doorbell to introduce themselves. Usually people who are truly dedicated to improving public service campaign this way, because they (1) must go door-to-door to combat a $ disadvantage by meeting voters personally and (2) it shows that they want to actually interact with the people they serve.

Grassroots politics is closest to the people, and is an American tradition we should firmly embrace.

Jerry Yang is worst and it's not even close

Re: Poll: Who is worse Yang or Gold?
 
I voted for Yang. If anyone has ever listened to Gold speak in interviews he's admitted he's "still learning". He's cocky but at least entertaining to some degree.

I hated Yang immediately when he called Rahme's re-raise with A5o, getting CR all in and in typical calling station fashion blurted out "I TINK U HAVE DRAW!"

if the question is who i would like to kick in the balls more, its gotta be gold. but as far as who is a better player, that has to be gold also. yang was a much more likable person, and in a way i was happy when he won. but when gold won it just made me want to vomit.

ok but if you kept playing and ended up losing a significant portion of what you won (gold) you would stop laughing.

How do we have any idea that he has lost a significant portion of his winnings? Word is he did well in cash games until HSP4 and the 700k pot Farha took off him

Khan is the biggest idiot I have seen on tv. I can't believe he seriously thinks he's funny in any way.

And Gold is by far a better player, he knows the basics and knows how to push with a big stack. He isn't scared to play a hand and I really think he's one of the few who just play for fun and not for the money.
