Evastian 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Why all the dislike of Jamie Gold? I notice on most poker forums, Gold seems to be an utter disgrace."Anyone seems likable at a final table against Gold...""Any top list that excludes Gold is a good list..."..and so forth. Is it solely because of his legal business after the Main Event, or was it the Main Event itself? Do you consider him that bad a player to insult him about his win? What is it?I'm not defending Jamie Gold, as I didn't even play poker in 2006. I'm just curious as to why all the hostility, because from what I've seen on HSP, he seems like a nice enough guy to me. Not the greatest poker player, but he himself admitted that many times.So, what's the deal? Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've got nothing against McClumpo whatsoever. Seems like a nice enough guy to me... A little small perhaps, but if that means he can fit into 3ft long couches, then more power to him. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Gold is kind of an ass, and at numerous times really stepped over the line as far as what is allowed in a poker tournament ("accidentally" flipping a card, telling his opponent what he holds, etc).

Nimue1995 1 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 At least people are still talking about Jamie Gold. He's not sunk into the total obscurity that some of the other Main Event winners have (think Jerry Yang). Link to post Share on other sites
