Default Jamie Gold or Phil Hellmuth

The more I watch Jamie Gold in action on HSP, the more he seems like actually a half-decent guy compared to the rap he got from his WSOP win (and subsequent lawsuit). He doesn't seem arrogant at all and doesn't claim to be the world's greatest poker player.

Contrast him with Phil Hellmuth who continues to define the term douchebag to a tee. There's really no comparison.

If I had to use one word to describe Jamie Gold it would be smarmy.

Look at him.

He is.

Gold's a douche.
Hellmuth is an arsehole

arseholes >>>> douches.

Smarmy is one of my favorite words in the English language, right up there with, "lockbox" and "ship".

I love the Hellmuth, "The top players had a roundtable discussion the other day" name drop at the table. This guy views exclusivity like as if it was as powerful and effective as a Viagra pill.

I just want to know when the next internet donkey meeting is. I bet they'll have good appetitizers.

Hellmuth certainly exaggerates it, but you can't be that much of a douche without having an intrinsic douchebag inside of you.

Gold is an irritant. Hellmuth is a child. Given that Phil is in his 40's and is still a child, he is much worse than Jamie Gold.

Nevermind. I thought this was a "If you had a gun and only had one bullet..." post.
