Default Why the hate over David Williams?

I'm neither a supporter or a hater, but just wondering why so many people don't like David Williams? I watched him on the final table of the WSOP and didn't think he played too badly. Am I missing something?

I wasn't aware of any appreciable amounts of hate for DW on the forum...maybe I missed it.

All I ever saw was debate over the check in the dark hand, and some Magic scandal. I didn't notice a lot of hate. It's not like he was Vince or something.

Mediocre players love to think they are better than a lot of the pros and that its "luck" keeping them down.

Very well said, except that goes for every mediocre player but ME. Luck is keeping me down, because I don't have any, and I'm mediocre, a bad combo.
Anyways as far as the original post, I'd say it's because
A) He' black
B) He's black and played magic
C) He is more successful at a young age than most people.
D) All of the above

I'm gonna go with C (so I don't sound like a racist who stereotypes), and it's the real reason why. There was a quote by some guy who said "It's not enough to just succeed, someone has to fail". People (like myself) are jealous because here is a guy who the same age as me and he wins $3.5 million dollars and takes 2nd in the WSOP main event. The man is set for life, and I know for a fact I'll never see that amount of money in my lifetime. So it's all just jealousy and bitterness, but there are people I hate, and David Williams isn't one of them (now Osama Bin Laden on the other hand should have his limbs chopped off and his eyes gouged out of his hand).

Didn't you listen to Bush's last speech? Osama has eyes in his hands that fire out evil suicide bombers.

I love David Williams. He doubled-through the worst human being in the world: Josh Arieh.

Quite a bold statement considering you don't even know the man or even a fraction of people on this earth.
