I've never understood the dislike some have for Jamie; the guy went on an iconic run that drew a lot of new players to the game. He wasn't the greatest player of all time, but did he ever claim to be? All and all he seems like a nice guy, hope he has success in the future, be it poker or other fields.
Jamie invented an entirely new branch of poker which relies on psychological supremacy. Anyone can learn GTO, but no-one can replicate Jamie's psychological mastery.
It's not easy keeping a chip lead; novice players tend to piss their chips away. Credit to Gold for the win. His greatest strength was players not knowing his style; but, the pros quickly learned it after this tourney.
Probably the most fun to watch home stretch of the Main Event because of all the creative talking. It just made a completely unique flavor, it wasn't JUST about the cards or the game theory.
Jamie was very entertaining! He was the right type of player for the hands he was getting... He never really did anything idiotic, fot out of line, or tried to make hero calls... He was able to raise with premium hands and hit them, then he'd play a 78, J-10, KJ for moderately afforable and hit it... He never let off the gas and tried to coast into the top 27, top 18, never tried to coast into the final table, or up any ladder... He had a dominate chip stack and used that incredibly creatively to keep building... Honestly if each ladder step after 20 is worth the equivent of a major tournament win, its not easy getting into hands with Jamie when you are in 7th chip position with 25 players left... Everybody knew he was calling bets with J-9, 5-8, any pocket pair, 3-6 suited... It would have been very tough putting him on hands, and everybody knows that guy on a particular day or week who is hitting everything! If you are 5th in chip position with 14 players left with AA, and the flop is 8-9- J and you have AA, and Jamie raises you All-in after your flop bet, its not easy to call... Especially with 3 or 4 very short stacks... Even if he shows you 8-10, or even or a 4 flush draw with 4-7. You could easily wait out 3 eliminations for an extra $400,000-$500,000... I played in the Main in 2005, and a few other events. Got 2nd in event #36 in 2005 to Todd Whittles, won the LA Poker Derby in 2006, and 05 $1000 event made the final 2 tables and got eliminated on a crazy bad beat, and the one thing you have to understand in those tournaments is 'What these players financial situation are'.... The bad beat- I 3 bet pre with 99 middle position, a guy tanked, called, original raiser called flop came 6s 7s 8s, I had 2 black 9's (overpair and straight flush draw) original better bet out very light, I went all-in, the middle aged man tanked, from the beginning I put him on 10-10, A-Q, AJ, or A-10 suited (it was played different back then) he tanked and tanked, I was sure he had 10-10 or A Q with the spade. He called, original better folded, I said "10-10?" spade? He confidently flipped over J-7 diamonds... before I could even process anything or what shape I was in, the turn was 7! I still had a straight and flush draw and a 9, I had 17 outs on the river... but I was in shock at the call pre, the call after the flop, the 7 turn, river was an ace... I would have had top 5 chip stack... Those are true bad beats... its not getting beat with AA vs QQ, the guy with QQ did everything right... The real bad beats are when a guy like Mr. J-7d should have folded even before a raise, 100% folded to a raise, and 100000% should have folded to a 3 bet... and 10000000% should have folded to a bet and then All-in after the 6s 7s 8s board with Jd-7d. I HAD A great run that 05 WSOP so I never lost sleep. 24 years old in the Coast Guard in Alaska, 16 days leave in Vegas, entry to the main, the 2nd day I get in my first WSOP event $3000 Limit, and get heads up for the bracelet down 250,000 to 950,000, get it to 600,000 before getting card dead and then sucked out on the final hand... Its heartbreaking, but that $179,000 they hand you is a great consolation prize.
I think this is (as of 2021) the largest tournament field of all time? And also possibly the most dominant tournament performance of all time? Insane to put on the best showing ever in the biggest tournament ever. Absolutely brilliant. Yeah he went downhill afterwards, but really there was nowhere else to go!
Gotta give Gold Credit he didn’t really suck out but when his opponents missed Flops he he played him, Call Gold bad all you want but he outplayed a bunch of players.

this is good insight into the mind of a fish
i have to admit that this was some of the greatest table talk ever in the history of poker..............
As mush as everyone hates jamie gould he was really entertaining poker on tv now is really boring and robotic

To this day, the ending of that broadcast is the most heartwarming in poker history
78 spades ♠️..open ended straight flush draw. All in. What are you waiting for, there's not a better spot.

If Paul didn’t fold that 87 of spades he probably would’ve won the tournament

Jamie's performance in the 2006 WSOP Main Event inspires me to keep going more than anything else related to poker <3
That premier Jamie Gold content I've been looking for.
Jamie commentating: "I just knew he had the 78, I didn't know if it was suited or not... but what else could he have?"

It was the first time I’d seen televised poker. Boy were you a killer at that table.
Fuck. Him talking about his dad at the end. I’m crying.
Still the best ending ever to a WSOP broadcast

Man allen cunningham was so close to a huge achievement, especially for a pro
Gotta give Gold Credit he didn’t really suck out but when his opponents missed Flops he he played him, Call Gold bad all you want but he outplayed a bunch of players.
