Why does everyone have such a low opinion of Baxter? I cant think of a single error he has made this season. Has he had a bad season before or something?

He holds his cigar in the middle of his mouth like he is sucking a [censored] or something.

easy to lol right now that he is below average pro-

but he has the bankroll, time and will to get better.

And lets be realistic, if you have a giant bankroll, hold em poker is not hard to learn.

I dislike Gold as much as the next guy, but I will say this about him-

he has the balls to sit in this game and also to put moves on players like these takes courage. He actually wants to be a top poker player, unlike alot of these million-dollar tourny winners.

IN TIME, playing with these top players all the time will make him a great player. Dont be surprised if 5 years from now, he is one of the top 10 players in the world. The way I see it, he's just learning how to play (with a $6mil BR) and he's getting a lesson from the best in the world.

I disagree, he is not a thinking person. He just doesn't have the right mental attitude to be a top player.

He has to much ego and insecurities. He takes raises against him personally.

In my experience people like this never change, and never put thier pride aside

there is nothing great about what gold does it all. it's like he doesn't even have a though process whenever he's in a hand. he just fires shell after shell into every pot whenever hes got squadoosh unless he gets raised cause since he believes he has to win every pot, he doesn't care who his opponent is or how much risk/reward he's getting. he's the kind of guy that will fire bigass bets against the likes of dan harrington with pocket 8s on a AK2 flop and continue after a smooth call on the flop. and what does he do when he improves on the river every time? checks behind top pair against guys like eli elizra. no [censored] thought process at all.
