Scandal? He just proved he’s not someone you do business with.

[@silencedogood711]

Yeah it wasn't a scandal but an interesting story. Since he did his friend dirty on top of being an amateur who got extremely lucky in the main event, it gave the illusion that he must've cheated somehow.

[@hotstepper887]

@@LucianDevine Exactly … Even though the truth is, this game today is completely corrupted. All poker sites are unplayable, well unless you're just a mug, that is. Every deck is stacked to deliver action hands. You'll see each player in for the flop catch a small part of each flop, only for someone to lose to a miracle river that hits all the time, (against you), whenever you've got your chips in. The less educated among us, will tell me they hit more, because in online poker we see more hands being played? LOL @ that rubbish. You only need common sense and a history of playing poker, to notice the cheating, and the complete change in everything about the game today, to how it once was. (it's without question the most manipulated game in this world today). Along with online slots, Bingo, etc. It just seems many people have not worked this out yet? And you'll see some of those people, hilariously and so stupidly standing up for the poker site, and many will actually call you names, (for telling them they're being ripped off)? This is the level of intelligence, we're talking about today. LOL. You can play the tightest poker of your life, and you'll always be a loser, why? Obviously, because you'll never win when it counts, when all the money is in. You'll be forced (with the nuts) to get your money in before the turn or river card. For example, you can flop a straight flush, and amazingly someone will bet at you, and whatever you do in reply makes no difference, you can get it all in on the turn, holding the nuts, only to see the same suit hit the river? And of course, your opponent has the higher end of the straight flush, he made on the river? Not once, not twice, but every single time (when you've got your chips in) It's commonly known as a con, a rip-off, and all these people we see and hear deny that? Are either idiots, or getting something from it.

It’s true. And if you go back and watch that main event. It doesn’t even show how Gold got all his chips.

Chip Reese Doyle Barry Greenstein Johnny Chan Bobby Baldwin David Oppenheim I believe were all sitting at that table, and I'm sitting there thinking wow, does Jamie Gold think he has some kind of edge playing in this game? I'll have to look that one up and try to find out how he did. The only thing I remember is he wasn't running over anyone on that table even though he was trying to.

[@curthennig9448]

Most of those lineups were pretty good and Gold had no business being there. I wonder if there was a running total on how much he lost in that one season(2007 sounds about right).

@@curthennig9448 Because his strategy of "I'm going to tell my opponent what I have, and they won't believe me.", didn't work on the pros like it did on all the fish. Then, when he didn't have the huge stack to bully people around with, he just got tapped.

[@MickJagger-el6of]

Jamie Gold was a vastly inferior player next to his colleagues. Ironically, the structure of the WSOP with its massive number of entrants (almost 9,000 in 2006), reduces itself to a glorified lottery ticket more than the emergence of skilled play. Chip stacks have a gravitational pull about them which have an inclination to vacuum a tables chips with a comparatively low threshold of skill required to manage it. This is why virtually no poker pro ever won the event during its brightest years. This also why you’d generally see the chip leader at the final table be anywhere from 5x to 10x over the 2nd chip position. To progress in such a structure, you must win your 50/50 coin flips. Win enough of those at the right time and you eventually earn an immunity from such tournament life trials with a 10x or 20x stack. The display of Gold’s actual poker skills came to light on the cash game series “high stakes poker” where all the pros viewed him as a fish, placating him to continue remaining in the game as he weakly conducted himself in search of their approval to be considered “one of them”. He never was and they all, including Gold knew it.

He just ran super crazy good that year. It’s not hard to win when you are hitting every flop early and take a giant Chip lead. He was smart enough to keep adding pressures on smaller stacks with bluffs and hitting flips. His actual skill was shown in cash games and other torns to follow

[@SethRadius1]

He had a crazy good "talk" game. He talked ALOT of pros into making mistakes. Ones that should have known better too. Yeah, he was running so smooth on water, but he was undeniably good at manipulation too. He really did go right up to the limit of crossing the line. The most notorious moment is when he flashed that Jack to his opponent while bluffing. There are some old pros that believe this was the last year of REAL old school poker...before it got commercialized to hell and back, and I tend to agree. Now we have month long breaks for the final table (dunno if that is still a thing, but I always felt it was a horrible idea), coaching, teaming up, sponsorships, etc. It has essentially become the current state of Black Friday shopping: In name only. I really do miss the rawness of what the WSOP was.
