. Because I'm sure the guy put up $5000 with the intention of just getting his $5000 back if Gold won. He either breaks even or loses. That makes no sense.

I feel sorry for his dad and family, but Jamie Gold is a self involved 2 faced cheat. I never heard of him before this years WSOP, not unusual in recent years, but the first minute I layed eyes on him I couldn't stand the sight of him. Yes, a erbal agreement is legally binding, but hard to prove. While the actual terms of the agreement will be difficult to establish, the fact that there was some agreement seems clear. I'd be surprised if this case doesn't get settled in Golds favor, but no way he walks away with the whole pot. His real loss will be in endorsements and paid appearences.

A deal is a deal - you don't back out just because you donked your way into more money than you ever imagined.

Can you say PWNED?
Quoted From MarK Seif on Bluff Magazine
Quote:
My first Blog - Leyser . GoldWhen Eric Morris first asked me to write a blog for Bluff a week or two ago I said I needed to think about it because, although I enjoy writing, I find it painful. I kind of labor over anything I write trying to make sure it says what I mean in a clear concise way, and for me, that doesn't come easy. After discussing the idea with my wife Jennifer though, she assured me that this would be much easier than other writings because its...well...casual she said. I decided to give it a shot.
So here goes my first ever blog entry and its about my good friend Jamie Gold. I am being totally facetious. I can't stand JG. In an nutshell, he totally screwed over my real buddy Crispin Leyser - to the tune of $6 million! Perhaps equally as important, he gives poker and poker players a bad name. This is why I came out of legal retirement. For this one case.
JG is not really a p... | | Read Entire Entry |
