High Stakes Poker thread (11/19 - 500K buyin pt 3 - Spoilers on alert)

yeah, another reason I hate the guy! If not for the fact that he's a donk with lots of money, I'll bet there's not one guy in the group that likes Jamie.

Spoiler alert (sorta):

One hand took 20 mins and it was the dumbest hand I have ever seen.

That hand makes the stupid El Diablo games my friends play look like high class action.

A little tip for folks watching future shows... every once in a while they will show a seemingly odd shot of the hole cards of someone who mucks their hand pre-flop. It's almost always followed up by a flop where they would have hit something big if they'd stayed in the hand.

Have a look at the last hand with Sammy's QQ vs. Gold's 7T and see what Laliberte folded pre-flop.

In hindsight it looks like Gold is probably going to leave down $350 000. I guess I can't be too upset especially since to save that money he had to luck out on PA and Farha had to have a minor stroke.

i officially hate the jack of diamonds and will now boycott all hands involving the jack of diamonds

Sammy oh sammy... why did you check those aces

Can someone please put a muzzle on gold... please... or better yet, cut his [censored] tongue out

i was soooo happy when he went all in on that hand... i saw him get all teary eyed when he stood up to go home, it brought such joy to my heart... it was an early christmas for me until that grinch the jack of diamonds saved that idiot from his impending doom

i thought sammy got his balls back with those big pots he won... figured he would run it once and put the hurt on the tard

damn u jack of diamonds... damn you to hell

I think the funniest part in this episode was during the river jabber in the first hand.

Jamie: Let's just check, check.
Sammy: But I know I have the best hand.
Jamie: EXACTLY, SO YOU SHOULD CHECK!!!!!1!

And Sammy's check was pretty weak. I mean, the way the hand was played before the flop, as well as Jamie's genuine worry (You're giving me that speech with aces?) should have encouraged Sammy to get as much money in the pot as possible.

Jamie Gold is irritating to watch on TV and some of his actions are classless, but the hate on this forum is beyond childish. Also why judge someones personality on their ability (or lack of) to play poker? He plays bad poker, he runs well. Big deal. Unneccesary negativity.

I've actually never been too anti-Gold (besides the fact that I like to see the best players win) but his whining and crying in this episode was pretty embarrassing.
