Is it just me? Or does anyone else think it is wrong for an article to say
Gold is a pro?

I mean, ok, he got lucky with winning a tournament; With The Help Of A
Mentor! :-)

Maybe it is just me, but I thought it was funny that they call him a pro
now. I guess the label can be attached to anyone. Don't have to been at it
for some time, just say you are a pro, and you are a pro.

A pro is someone who supports himself in whatever, and Gold supports
himself with poker money, so he is a poker pro. That doesnt mean he is a
master, just means he makes a living at it.

Yes, but even that is stretching it. Gold won many millions in 1 tournament
and could live off of that for the rest of his life. So supporting oneself
by playing poker isn't quite right, he already has support from that stash
of the one tourney win.

Well, he did also beat some athletes and tv stars, so he has won 2
tournaments now.

Looking at the list of "celebrities" who played in this tournament, I
kept thinking one thing...

Where are Matthew Lillard and Dax Shepard when you need them?
