Who the [censored] cares about how many people were in the main events that he won? Hes been killing the big game for decades, and every top pro puts him on the short list for best player in the world (right now).

He won 2 Main Events and has around 10 bracelets but there was only about 10 people back then. In the main event he just calls every bet when he is dominated. I think the new generation of poker players is going to dominate his passive playing style. He is just way too passive to keep up with aggression of the newer players. I am watching the main event now and it is sad to watch, he is nothing but a calling station. He may be the most over-rated player ever!

Nothing personal, but that may be the most idiotic thing I've ever read on this forum. In response to him being overrated, I'd like to see you or any top internet player play him for big money when he was in his prime (hes 70 something now and top players still consider him one of the best today). In response to the main event, he's just playing a style where he doesn't want to risk a lot of chips against bad players. Obviously you havn't watched HSP or you wouldn't have that opinion. It's one broadcast with around 10 hands he was in. It doesn't show a lot. These posts just crack me up more and more everytime I read them.

I think winning a 10 person WSOP - a deep-stacked STT with the 10 toughest players in the world - would be a helluva lot harder than winning the WSOP today.

uh, fu.

First post was about Doyle.

I'm not hating on Gold at all. Negreanu was just pretty damn good there.

LOL - OK, not *harder* (as in less likely), but a much tougher test of poker skill. Duh. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Jamie Gold seems like a good guy but terrible poker player. i think he DID think himself the hotshot after winning the ME but I think he realised afterwards of playing cashgames etc. that he is a bad player.

Doyle is obviously has the best poker feel among all, I double he knows as much math as people at 2p2 but he will figure some way to take your money. I've met people like doyle (old-time hustlers) on live casinos and they always seem to get the best of you. you gotta admire that

Obv he learned from Card Runners - something the OP did not. The OP should be ASHAMED of himself!
