Default i cant watch poker on tv anymore

All the grandstanding and blowhards and self-promotion - thrown in with all the bad beats - turns my stomach. Throw in the melodramatic feature stories of the players with the narration rambling on while they show them sitting at a table all contemplative and what-not - and i am done with it.

I used to really enjoy watching it on tv - i might have watched 10 minutes of ESPN coverage this year. If i see Danny N. as i am flipping through - i watch.

The only thing i watch now is High Stakes Poker on Gameshow Network.

Yeah, I found Gold to be really, really obnoxious. But you know what? I didn't really mind it as much as I minded that Eric WhatsHisName kid. The posturing worked really well, I thought, for Gold's game, and he never crossed the boundary of insulting another player's game.
In my mind, you can think what you want about someone else's play. But the second you bring it to public light, then you've crossed the line. From what I saw, Gold -- as obnoxious as he was -- respected his opponents. He just happened to pretty much catch every single card and every single opportune time. Personally, I've never cared if you're cocky, as long as you can back it up. Every time Gold opened his mouth, he gave himself the chance to stick his foot in it. A few times, he did. But with those cards, I'm not sure God Himself could have beaten him.

Unbelievable... I don't know if I've ever heard anyone more in love with themselves.

Listening now. Wow... what an idiot.

It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying.

Man, it really does get worse and worse, doesn't it?

This is the direct link, btw, instead of digging through two other sites first:

OK, I can't stand this man.

I mean, I'm sure this guy was on some sort of "high" after the big win, and that's reasonable, but this is ridiculous.

I say we start lobbying to get him on "High Stakes Poker." I'd love to see him get his clock cleaned in a cash game.

I'm sure Daniel would've liked to get the cards and the boards Gold got.

"Sooner or later, I'm gonna trap all of them." As said by Gold to his "mentor" Johnny Chan...the look on Johnny's face when Gold asked "I'm playing good, right?" was one of restraint, as all I think he wanted to say was, "Your lucky as fuck, you little fuck."

He actually made a comment in that interview about wanting to challenge some of the top players - namely the big table talkers - to play for $1 million each, heads up. He specifically mentioned Hellmuth, who apparently "sucks" at cash game play, according to Jamie and the two dorks doing the radio interview.

I would so love to see him go broke. Then again, it shouldn't take long:
$12 million won
-6 million to the dude he promised 50%
-2 million for taxes
=$4 million

HOPEFULLY he'll spend at least $1 million of that on his family (namely his Dad), leaving him just $3 million to piss away at the tables.
