He looks a lot like Stephen Colbert.

I like to watch him specially when he tryes to play good and fails or is tilt after he folded a winner etc(WSOP this year).
Really entertaining, i dont think he is like a good player at all and i dont think he can win with his style! But well maybe i m wrong, who knows.

Anyways always thought hes a good character never thought hes like arrogant or something like that.

I have never understood how people think Gold is a jerk. I think Gold more than anyone knew how lucky he was getting and couldn't believe it himself. There was one hand (he got a straight flush), and he said it didn't matter how good or bad a player you are; if you get big hands, you will win. People kept saying he was arrogent to say that. How is that arrogent? It's the truth. I know that if I play at a table w/ Phil Ivey long enough, he's taking my money. But I also know that if I get a straight flush on the river and Ivey flops quads, I'm probably doubling up. It doesn't mean I'm better. If that makes me a douchebag, oh well!

"He admits that he sucks at poker "

Oh, Really? I hadn't heard that. That changes my opinion of him.

I totally respect him because he doesnt cheat during televised events.

I actually find the guy kinda' endearing. There are places for all kinds of celebrities in the poker galaxy including Jamie Gold. It took me a while to get over what I believed at first was his attempt to chisel his backer out of his fair share of the 12 million bux. I myself sometimes make bad impressions by being overly strident in my verbiage. I can be an obnoxious gas bag at times I understand, but I readily apologize.

I really think he is totally misunderstood and about 10 big name pros have gone out of their way on camera to say that they think he is a good guy.

I'd say I thought he was a good guy if I was gonna take his winnings away as well.
