No doubt, Jamie Gold is a horrible player. He's aggressive when he shouldn't be, he's not able to achieve a good bluff
Man the best hand I ever had in poker was a straight flush which I lost to a better straight flush. How you may ask? I had 7,8,9,10,J of hearts and my opponent got 9,10,J,Q,K. There was no way I could know given he slow played just as I as someone else (with an ace high flush) was playing into us. I of course eventually went all in just as the 2 others and lost most of my chips (I had more then the 2 others). I eventually broke even for the night but that hand took allot out of me.
Then again I lost another hand with 2 bullets, all in pre-flop, against A,8. The guy hit a flush as 4 spades came up on the flop and the river.
Those were some bad beats I took.
Pros I look up to:
Daniel Negreanu
My fav pro, this guy is good!
Phil Hellmuth Jr
Awesome pro but a bit full of himself
Gus Hansen
This guy is crazy, he plays hands you won't believe and has every looking like ''WTF''. Gus rocks.
Sam Farha
Sammy always gets respect at any table cause they damn well know not to fck with him.
Antonio Esfandiari
Before becoming a professional poker player,
he was a professional magician. LOL
Doyle Brunson
Big Pappa, nuff said
All of these players are definetly pros I observe closely. Farha and Esfandiari are two players I'm not so keen on based on their skills, they both have great personalities, but I find Farha risks too many bluffs with bad hands and isn't always able to carry out the lie till the end, he generally finds himself short stacked quickly. Antonio, is a pretty standard player in my eyes, rarely takes too many risks and finds himself alot of times in trouble with decent pocket hands. I'd put Phil Laak on that list, as well as Johnny Chan, two greats.
I do from time to time, haven't in ages. I'm loading it up now, not sure what my name is yet.anyone play pokerstars here?
