hes the best , hater.

not ignorant at all it is fact

WTF is this..... Bible School?

There is no reason to hate on someone if they are giving their honest opinion about live poker....Gobbo has played enough hours live to make judgements about the majority of live players (very terrible compared to online players)...and making physical judgements is prolly the stupidest thing someone can say to a successful poker player...

LOL, some of you people are the most jealous haters of all time. What Jimmy said is completely on point, but ya'll wouldnt know bc you stay in the $5 sngs. He's a nice guy and I wish nothing but success for him, hes a hell of a player.

Judging another man on his looks is quite suspect IMO.

GOBBOBOY = THE FACE OF VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So making fun of someone's physical appearance is a banishable offense now? But making fun of someones pokarring ability is cool?

these young kids need to stop paying attention to idiots like hellmuth and matusow and follow examples like doyle, ivey, and Seidel

i was playing in a $109 on UB, i played a hand w gobboboy, i checked the flop, he bet, i had a mediocre hand, so i asked him if he wanted a call, he says to me, " this is not the WSOP you are probably sitting there behind your computer wearing sunglasses." I gave him a few choice words back, and he quickly realized he was life pwnt.

ever since then I have no compassion for the kid, sweet, you are good at poker, you obv suck at life

Paulsonnnnnnnn pwnsss that is all

gobbo is very kind, giving piggie back rides and pushing people on swings. A+++++ class act

Right...its much more acceptable to let people call each other fags, gay, "ghey" or all of the other homophobic crap this board allows because it is perpetuated by the marquee players.

lol i finally saw the aussie millions ep, and i liked how they set it up with him saying he thinks he's the shit and live pros are idiots, then it switches right after to about how sick was running in the tourny tournament: rivering quads against sebok, knocking out 10 people coming in with the worst hand every time lol

Personally I think if you dish it out, you better be able to take it.

Yes, it's low to attack someone based on their looks. But, it blows my mind that we're basically saying the only ad homimen attacks that are unacceptable are race and obesity.

Pretty ridiculous in my opinion. I have no opinion on Gobboboy one way or the other. I've never met him. But, I've seen him run his mouth online, and his comments at the Aussie Millions put him in the spotlight.

Public scrutiny is part of being a celebrity. If you don't like it, stay out of the limelight, have thick skin, or lose some weight.

I agree with that BGX, if you are going to make specific things unacceptable on the forum why not just make all shit talking in general against the rules? I have never made fun of gobboboy and he seems like a nice enough guy from what I've seen on various poker forums. I just mean in general why would making fun of someones appearance be wrong but making fun of something else about them be OK?

If anything you should say an "unprovoked attack" on someone would be a bannable offense, but if someone is talking shit to you they should be willing to accept any trash talk that comes their way. I know for a fact a couple of the "top ranked" players will make fun of someone's appearance from time to time. There hasn't been any outrage about that.

edit: And besides, people making comments about his mom posting on forums is a lot more stupid than making fun of his appearance. WTF is wrong with someone's Mom following their kids succesfull career? How old are Tiki/Ronde Barber? Their Mom watches/follows the NFL.
