The hate is simple jealousy. A majority of people on this board have no hope of ever seeing any amount of success and they can't stand to see someone without a poker pedigree succeed. Most of these schmucks grind away online or at a live table and live a Walter Mitty existance alternating between disappointment and fantasy. They don't think it is fair that Jamie Gold won because if another 'regular' guy won, it should have been them.

I'm not jealous of Jamie Gold, Chris Moneymaker or Robert Varkonyi. Yet I only dislike Jamie Gold. Please explain.

And if the hate is just jealousy, why do people here not hate Hachem and Raymer and all of the other great players? Why only Gold? I'll tell you. The same reason that a hundred other people have given you... because he is a douchebag.

Harmon-Never even saw her play a single hand.

Others:
Farha-Dude takes way too long on all hands and ruins the flow. I guess if you play every hand you will eventually get lucky and win some hands.

WTF??
Harman and Farha weren't in the first episode [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Yeah, dude. The second show is a rerun. Sammy's hot, though.

1) just 6 handed?
2) when do we see Gold?

[/ QUOTE ]

Gold is on day 2, so we won't be seeing him for several weeks.

It's still 8 handed. I wonder if Brian is on right from the beginning. Speaking of which... I bet people are going to be referring to him by his actual name after this season airs.

I was told that I was going to be on the first episode. I hope they air the table from the first day (ivey, patrick, benyamine, etc.) but I think they are going to air the table with (farha, harmen, lindgren etc). I think I played better on the stong table.

Thanks for letting us know about when you'll be on. LOL at you being generally ignored in this thread.

My tivo programming ran out while I was out of town. When does the new season start and do you know when the re-runs for that show are during the week? I thought it started a few days ago, but it doesn't seem like it did

Anyone else notice Jamie Gold wearing his 2006 bracelet? It's on his left wrist. I'm sure everyone at the table was really impressed. Nice move for the "Earl of Douchebaggery".

[DayTripping]

Uh, you see bracelet winners wearing their bling at the tables all the time. Personally I think it's tacky, but Gold is hardly the only one who does it.

When did it start please? I searched GSN, but couldn't find out

Otter: The first episode of Season 3 aired at 9 p.m. this Monday, January 15, 2007. The next (new) one will air at 9 p.m. next Monday, January 22, 2007. Rinse and repeat. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I believe you can catch a repeat of Monday's episode tomorrow evening at 9. webcast info and stuff

Something sort of off topic, but program guides on Tivo are designating episodes as First Run AND Repeat in the show description. Well, they can't be both. So, if I have my Tivo set to record First Run's only, it is recording repeats because the show descriptions are counter-intuitive. Question: Are the networks doing this on purpose so that our Tivo's record more of their shows? I hate it!

Is it me or does Chen have a sort of X-22 personality??
