He won some rediculous hands and had some rediculous cards.

From what we saw on ESPN, he did pull off some great bluffs and was called having the best hand. However, those tourneys on TV don't show every hand of the tournament. He deserves some credit having dominated all 5 days or whatever it was. I don't think that's ever happened in the WSOP main event where one person was chip leader throughout several days. Also I think that it will be interesting to see how many other final tables he makes. Joe Hachem's record is pretty solid and made some final tables recently giving him more credibility.

J. Gold use to play some cash games in California, So he has some good experience, and he's a decent player. But his run at the WSOP, even after day 3 was unbelievable. He's a loose aggressive player and when you play so many hands and have some good luck with you........That's pretty dangerous. And that's exactly what happen to him, the difference is that most of the time, players can have what's called a "rush" of good hands and good draws, but him he had a rush for 3 days!
To be honest, I don't like to much the way he play, but he's the WSOP 06 champion, and won millions......Nobody can take that away from him.
Take care

Only few WSOP champions that i don't respcet.
1. Jamie Gold - totally lucky, bad manner, I think i could take him any given day. I'm giving all the credit to Johnny Chan! Maybe i'm saying all this out of jealousy cuz he dose have WSOP main event bracelet but I really don't think he deserve it!!!
2. Chris Moneymaker - some luck, played great in final table, especially head on vs. Sam Farha. But now we are in few years down the road and I don't see him anywhere in leaderboard nor heard him in any final table of any tourny.

Yes he definitely had a great run of cards. But to be honest .. he was pretty honest. When he had the nuts, he told people he had the nuts and they called anyway. He pushed into cunningham and told him if he had an ace he had him beat but cunningham folded anyway .... then cunningham called when gold told him he had top pair and cunningham thought he was bluffing
So yes he did get lucky .. but his tabletalk definitely got into players' heads as well
