stevielarson 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I disagree. He made some irrational and terrible plays in the opening, but, I can see very few mistakes that he made after JT calling all in against AT. I think Moneymaker was worse. And, as his final table interview is going on..I'm glad he won.What about that huge call he made with KQ against Kravchenko's 33. At best he is in a race and in danger of doubling up probably the best player at the table at that time to a level where he can play with Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Maybe they should crown God the 2007 poker champion, since this guy just gave "all the credit" to God. If this Yang fellow is just a vessel, maybe he doesn't deserve any accolades. Link to post Share on other sites

He did fine for himself. Link to post Share on other sites

scottyno 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'm not a huge Gold fan, but he would've easily been the best player of the final seven.I think Kravchenko is better. I actually meant in terms of image for the game though, both Raymer and Hachem seem like fairly likeable guys (outside of Hachem's whining at times), and both were fairly active on the tournament trail. Gold seems to come off as likeable to a lot of the pros I guess, but with his combination of poor table ethics last year and the whole 50% deal I don't think he as champ was good for the game.

Andr4w 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 No, not in the least. I'm not a believer, but, I can certainly appreciate when a man believes in something greater than himself.Neither am I, but at least he is being sincere, very rare in this selfish world of poker players.

TheDelta 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Man, this guy drove me crazy and now he's gonna go ahead and make me like him with this great interview.By the way, anyone else watch the entire final table? I've been watching since 3PM EST. I watched the whole table, and for me it started at 9PM and right now it's 1PM and I really need to go to bed Link to post Share on other sites
