Thats why the vast majority of good poker players have no business playing against top pros like cunnigham. Players like him can make a call like that on a final table of the wsop under immense pressure. Under normal circumstances forget about it, no chance of beating players like that.
Against Gold, the call is easier though as he is so loose. It will be no surprise to see cunnigham win another major title, as for Gold i seriously doubt it.
