Where does he go from here?.. Seems like he's just a big liar.

Something is telling me we won't see him at a major tournament again. That's 12 million from the poker community we'll never see again!

This guy is such a retard it isn't even funny.

Every single step he takes is going to get ripped apart by the media now, and he's going to lose what little resemblance of a mind he has left in the process.

All I can say is Thank you God.

I get the impression DN is not a big fan! Gold is not going to be a guest Celb on FCP?

Might be the reason he wanted to finish second. Not as much publicity.

In a very deep hole now.

What at tool!

Another black eye on this sport. Just what we need....

LOL I love that gold is the biggest doucheclown ever to win the wsop lol. You gotta love sleaze ball liars
if he wasn't an agent, he shoulda been.

lol...this is the best story since brad and jen broke it off. Im sure, somewhere in the world, pat o'brian is still weeping.

The best part about this is the guy didn't even want to win beacuse of the "celeberity". Now we find this out... first the lawsuit and now this?

Whats next... Varkonyi is a robot?

I hung up on Al Gore once when he called to ask my boss about whether he should seek reelection, and I haven't been able to resist telling people since that I was his "political campaign consultant."

I doubt we will be seeing Gold in PSS 4.

This should not be such a shock.

It seems that every time I pay these days there is at least one total d*ck head at the table.

That came out of the closet in 2003.

I was leary about posting this story that a friend of mine wrote, but since Daniel started the thread, I think it is ok. My friend is Mark Ebner and he wrote the book and owns the website Hollywood, Interupted. Here is the link to the Jamie Gold story:

Hollywood Interrupted


Edited: Fixed Link to archived story.

there was actually a link to that in Gen Poker earlier this week. but yeah, that story's classic too.

The Defamer?

Is that like an online version of The Enquirer or some other ridiculous magazine?

Well now he has plenty of money to pay for shrinks and paxil.

I find myself ... rather strangely... enjoying the common hate we all share for this clown.... I mean - - come'on admit it - don't we all enjoy checking in daily to see what new relevation has come out about Gold?

Hellmuth, Mike the Mouth and Tony G combined cannot compare to this guy, in terms of the pure outrage they spawn!

if this is true...it just seems so ridiculous...i wonder how espn will spin it or completely ignore it for there good or what not... i guess them telling the truth may make for good TV too...

jamie gold bluff'd but hopefull espn will raise in position

So far the background information on Jamie Gold looks pretty dismal, but nothing a good agent and the WSOP ME win can't fix in a few months. If the story that he sold 50% of any cash to a backer is correct, that just makes him a gambler and *only* six million dollars richer. Still good.

I hope that Jamie Gold accepts his invitation to High Stakes Poker on GSN and if he is smart, he can get bankrolled for that too, if only to turn his 50% WSOP backing from a huge loss to a consistant business arrangement, which sounds more correct. Lots of players have been backed, at one time or another, so being backed is not bad, really. The size of the win is what shocks most people but let's look at it in a positive way: The backer must be pretty happy.

Does the IRS tax Jamie on the whole 12 million, then whack the backer for getting 6 million? Sounds like the fun on this story has just started.

Meanwhile, back to business for Daniel Negreanu.

Says one poker pro, "In the gambling community, your word is gold." And, should the man of the same name as his word welsh on his promise, says the pro, "His name is dirt."



hahaha fan-freakin-tastic

There are a few "Name" players who have welched, Dan even wrote about this in HOH2. It's not like the old days any more.

I dont care much for this guy and havent even seen the final table vid yet.
He reminds me of that person you didnt like in high school,just by the way he looked and acted.

Y Would u Want 2 Post Something Negative About Jamie Gold ... He's The Best Player at The World Series of Poker & ... I Just Don't know ... He ... Seem's Like A Good Player 2 me w/ A Good Interview ... On ... That Other Site

Why doesn't the poker community go out and buy a bunch of ski masks, put together a posse, go to Gold's house in the OC, scare the living bejesus out of with the threat of enemas and crowbars in unatural places and make him disperse the money to poker players everywhere. Matusow can lead the charge.

Character.. does it really count here?
I mean who cares this guy is a liar. Do you know poker player that doesn't?

I really don't care if he said he was a dishwasher, there's nothing wrong with that, and really was a top executive of a fortune 500 company!
He won the dang thing, and move on to the next time.

Character counts when you are one of my fiends but who cares if this guy is a jerk or not. I would like to sit to his left at a tourney the we'll see!
He already said he doesn't want the lime-light or that he doesn't need the money. Who doesn't need $6 mil?
And he doesn't want to be a poker ambassador. That's his right. He can go back to washing dishes or whatever.

IMO

we better not. because then i cant watch it

LOL, first of all this is an internet hollywood-gossip site and it doesn't even name its source. This is how the term "unreliable source" was coined . Why would he lie about his clients on national TV when there are millions of reporters that can easily verify that? Never thought DG would join this bandwagon of envious teenagers, perhaps not over the WSOP yet.

who the hell is DG?

and yeah, nobody in a high profile situation has ever lied about their life when it was possible they could be found out. you're right. from now on, every single person who is on tv is telling the truth and politicians on cspan and cnn speak words of wisdom and clarity.

show me a poker player who isn't envious of a guy who just won the biggest event in poker and i'll show you someone who doesn't care. now break your fingers so we don't have to read crap like this anymore.

even if jamie gold gave up half the 12 million..wouldnt he make it back in endorsements?

exactly, this is why he should make good on his promises. If I just won, and I owed people a piece of the pie, I would throw the cash to them on national television.

Any publicity is said to be good publicity, so there's a chance Gold will come clean. Endorsements are plentiful right now. (Hachem even has beer commercials)

if you don't have the maturity to argue without petty irony, I'm going to have to ignore you. I quoted that paragraph because I find it hilarious.

If all goes through with the deal and giving Chan 10% of the winnings plus the taxes, Gold ends up with around $2.8 million of that $12 million prize.

He's a piece of **** and not even a particularly good player (a trained monkey can win with the stack and luck he had).

Had to post this link to make sure people who read this topic got a counter-view to what the Defamer site posted ... and with anonymous quotes at that.

http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...showtopic=73268

We all gotta take internet news with a grain of salt before jumping on anyone's case.

He's still an ass and bad for Poker.

Jamie Gold wont even have close to 6 million, when he pays tax and Johnny Chan his cut he will be broke.

I thought people disliked moneymaker after his wsop win...

but this beats it all.. look at this site!

www.ihatejamiegold.com

Gold is a joke. Hes almost has bad to poker as the Internet bill if not worse

great site
