Anyone else?

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.
