is the final episode online somewhere yet?

You guys are terrible. Leave the appearance shit out of it. Kid's a hell of a player and has had great results, both live and online.
gobbo pretty much crushed this tourney, and there's no shame in losing to Gus, who is a great tourney player. f haters. -

Actually, Adam or Riley posted in a previous thread a few days ago saying that if posters make malicious comments about Jimmys weight that they will be banned.
On that note, he played a hell of a tourney. Obv. a very skilled player. He did come off as a total ass in his interviews though. Whether what he said was true or not, probably would have been better not said at all. -
gobbo should practice what you preach..
-
i wouldnt openly make fun of someone for being fat, but jimmy isnt a very nice guy. i used to see him go off on people in the chat box and act like an asshole, and from what i hear he wasnt very nice after he lost this aussies either. so whether hes a sore loser or just a dick in general, it doesnt matter. he cant expect people to be nice to him and not make fun of his obvious weight problem if he's not gonna show others a mutual respect.
-
Do you even know Jimmy? He's one of the nicest persons I know.
"I've seen him go off on people in the chat box".
Come on man, who hasn't gone off in the chat box? What a terrible medium to attack someone.
I was rooming with Jimmy in Australia, and afterwards he was depressed, but he wasn't mean or anything. He took Aaron, Carl, Nath, Schaefer, Cameron, and myself out to eat in a nice restaurant afterwards. Where do you hear this stuff?
These constant attacks on him are getting old so fast. He's such a nice person, I can't believe someone who's probably never met him has the audacity to just attack him. He's so friendly I often worry about him being taken advantage of....and then he just gets bashed to all of hell on pocket 5's. -
let me reinstate what i said earlier. i dont know if he just has a temper and is a sore loser, or if he truly is a dick. how am i to know which is truly situation at hand here? i am just trying to relay to you that people "don't even know jimmy" (me) think that he isnt a very a nice person. so if i think someone isnt a very nice person i dont care to be nice to them. you see, as with many things in life, your actions dictate the result. jimmy's actions have made many people think that he isnt a nice person, so in turn, these people will not to be nice to him back.
and for the record, i was not attacking him in any way. posters above had been talking about people who make fun of his weight. my poinit is that if you are a nice to everyone to meet and no one dislikes you, then people wont make fun of your weight. when you act like an asshole at times and put a negative image of yourself in peoples minds, then its fair game as far as im concerned. -
I found it funny that Fricke complained about not getting hands HU and Gus always flopping top pair, when throughout the tournament, at least what was aired, Fricke consistantly got his money in behind and always outdrew people. Even the announcers made reference to how he's been behind throughout the tournament, yet has been outdrawing people. He finally gets it in behind twice at the end and loses, then whines.
-
jimmy's mom stopped by and even posted that he is young and obviously regrets some of the comments that he made in those interviews.
Shouldn't a young man who is still learning what it means to be an adult be allowed to make a few mistakes, even if those mistakes are broadcast for millions to view?
Give the kid a break, hopefully he has learned something and can't we all just move on? Seriously, I made a ton of mistakes when I was his age, as I'm sure alot of others have as well. Its just that ours were never broadcast over the airwaves. I am sure it was a tough lesson for young Jimmy to learn, and that should be enough without all the bashing. -
"my poinit is that if you are a nice to everyone to meet and no one dislikes you, then people wont make fun of your weight."
LOL. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. People will take any and all chances to be complete assholes. Maybe I am a total asshole, but complete strangers will make fun of me at will and it sure as hell isn't because I pissed them off, it's because that's what they do. -
fwiw, i really enjoyed watching him own the entire field.
the hands he sucked out on were not played poorly by him imo, he ran into a lot of big hands -
I think it's pretty obvious that jealousy fuels most of the people that are dicks to you. Unfortunately that's what happens when you become succesfull in many unconventional aspects of life. Actors, Athletes, and I guess poker players on these boards, all deal with an unreasonable amount of criticism and scrutiny on a daily basis.

Crushed this tourney? I guess you missed the hand where Shaniac (much more experienced inl live play) and he were all in and he was dominated and he sucked out a 2 outer to win?
He was very lucky to get as far as he did, and he was a total A$$ the entire time. -
its always seemed ridiculous to me that gobbo gets made fun of constantly and is bashed for being an "ass" during interviews. Lets look around guys im sure we can find many many more players that are assholes to make fun of and have half the talent gobbo has.
-
<span>the hands he sucked out on were not played poorly by him imo, he ran into a lot of big hands</span>
exactly. hes already had to defend himself from trolls on 2p2. hishands were good against the RANGE of hands his opponent may have, andthey always had the better part of the range. as for all thesuckouts...isnt running good any part of winning a tournament? and suckouts make for good TV, so of course theyre going to show all of them -
link to interviews? i tried pokertube but can only find part 4/4 of the final table, which is still 3 handed.

Generally, half the people want to see you fail and the other half don't care either way. If you want a friend, get a dog.

what movie is that from mrd

I am just in disbelief, and it takes a lot for a forum admin to be in disbelief over the insults people are throwing at someone. If he insults your (or someone's) poker ability, lash back about his or defend yourself. Attacking him in any other way is just a low blow. Have a little respect for other people in your community.
And mods, please take my point as well---it's fair game to ban anyone who bashes this kid or anyone else about their weight. It's just unacceptable, and we're not going to let that fly, not on this site. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>from the fricke gobboboy thread but i missed the post that inspired it I guess that post was deleted -
people are oversensitive and over politically correct.....

Gobbo was outspoken about the bad play at the aussi millions. Wasnt that a poker interview and isnt this a poker forum? Seems like an appropraiate topic of discussion. That doesnt warrant bashing him about something totally unrealated to poker.
Its atrocious the way people attack gobbo about his weight. Id be ashamed to be that pathetic but whatever. I wonder if one person in this thread would walk up to gobbo at a live event and mock and ridicule him. I hope I witness it so I can kick ur fucking ass.
yes the overwhelming majority of live players are lightyears behind top online players. Its gunna be a big shock for live pros who have abused their weak opponents for years when all these 18 to 20 year old phenoms turn 21 and filter into the live circuit. Its only just begun. Call me arrogant and cocky for pointing out facts. I dont care.
