Jamie Gold’s behavior

I’d like to hear some comments from professional or experienced directors about Jamie Gold’s behavior during the World Series of Poker main event as depicted on ESPN the past couple of weeks.  I’ve heard many commentators say that the rule of thumb about discussing your hand is that you can lie about the contents of your hand that you cannot tell the truth.  Obviously on many occasions he told his opponents exactly the contents of his hand. 

He also obviously deliberately flashed a card beforehand was over is my understanding that if you deliberately show your cards your hand is not necessarily dead but you cannot commit any further action such as calling a raise. His opponent folded but it seems to me all the opponent would’ve had to do was reraise and Gold’s hand would’ve been dead.

Can someone comment on these issues?
