How did Jamie Gold win the ME?
By ilivebythe5 on 07-04-2008 3:48 PM

 Gold Comes Out Swinging

2006 World Series of Poker champion Jamie Gold limped into a pot that saw six way action going to the flop. The flop ran out 2310, and Gold opened the action with a bet of 300. He was called by one player in seat 3. Seat 5 then raised it to a total of 1,000, and both other Jamie Goldplayers made the call. All three players checked the turn, the 10, but when action checked back around to Seat 5 on the river, the J, he fired out for a bet of 2,500. Gold made the crying call, saying he got screwed by the turn, turning over 23 and shipping the pot to his opponent, who held JJ for the full house.









I read this and just scratch my head for soooo many reasons.

Jamie Gold is very bad at poker imo.  I don't care if he was taught by Chan, this is just a ridiculously terrible call.

he's like a child playing a 1.10 turbo. He makes the call bc he doesnt want to just give the pot away or bc he has a personal grudge vs everyone that plays

Going for Gold

The tide is turning for Jamie Gold. First, he got an opponent to pay off his rivered flush by asking the player not to call down Gold's bet of 1,500 on the river. The player did, only to see that Gold had the second nuts. Then a few hands later, with 7,000 chips in the pot, Gold bet 3,500 on a board of . As he made the bet, Gold said, "I got you." His opponent called anyway, prompting Gold to say again, "I got you. I got you." Curiously, despite the fact that Gold had yet to open his hand, the other player mucked. Gold dragged the pot without opening his hand and is now up to about 25,000 in chips.

IMO Moneymaker actually played pretty well in that ME. He did get lucky (as they all HAVE to do to win) but he played MUCH better than Gold. JG did so much shit that should have been penalized for that its not even funny. The WSOP directors are a bunch of hypocritical pussies for not putting that fukker in his place (talking about his hand..etc). Moneymaker has at least made a WPT final table since. Gold will more than likely never final table another event....ever. You cannot run that incredibly stupid more than once. JMO.
