Jerry Yang is HORRIBLE for poker

Lord Voldemort?

YES!

Although I would prefer that Lee Watkinson or Raymond Rahme woulda won, I think Yerry Yang is not that bad. We will see in the next events if he is that bad. Everyone said the same of Hachem and he is a great player.

sorry to burst your bubble but....he died

And mine,


Most Christians don't act Christ-like because that would mean they have to act Jewish. They can't get the simple fact that Jesus was a Jew through their pointy little skulls. Which tend to fit real nice under a KKK hat.

sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but i finished the book already.

i agree. we all pray for cards to fall in our favor. those prayers will never be answered by 'god' but by chance. he got lucky more than others at the right time.. and won.. if he makes day 3 next year then it shows that he has some skill... but yeah.. i dont like him that much either.

hah,,, i finished the book the day it came out...guess you know what kind of nerd I am...best day ever..picked it up on the way to the bus to the casino, so poker and harry all day long lol.

>> where the passwords this site is lame

Why bother looking if you think the site is lame?
Try using your brain a bit.

I like Hachem he makes the game fun at least watching the game fun. Jamie....lucky as hell, but yanno, we ALL get lucky at times. I don't think I hate anyone who has won, maybe Tony G...LOL

As far as Hellmuth, some people STILL claim he sucks and is bad for poker.
/boggle

I'd start dancing for Allah if it means I could win millions of $$ on a final table lol.

Id pray, even tho I dont beleive in god

How is he bad for poker. He donated a ton of money to charity. He is helping poker if anything.

Good luck at your tables

'Cause he kidnapped Allen Cunningham and stole his spot at the Main Event and used hax.

No comment on the Yang thing aside from each to his own etc -- BUT.....WTH's up with the Potter spoilers???? That hurt. A lot. :-(

I watched the entire final table, ppv, at first it was annoying to me, the chanting and praying yang was doing, but the longer I watched him, the more I truly believe he was wanting to win more for family and church etc, then for himself, I believe he is a honest to goodness good hearted player, and his winnings will not be gambled away, or squandered, I do not think he will be in the spotlite as much as past winners, I do not think he is a fame seeker.

I'm yet to see the footage of the ME final table - I've seen footage of Humberto Brenes and David Ulliott this year that's made me cringe though

I was able to watch the whole entire main event final table live (yes i watched poker for 14 hours straight for 20 bucks) and i thought in the beginning he was playing crazy, raising it up to 10X the big blind. But later on he just ran over the tight play of the table and never looked back. Yes he did get lucky especially when i think he called watkinson's all in with J8 or some crap like that, but you gotta give it to the man, he turned 225 dollars into 8 and a quarter million dollars. This guy will not have to work another day in his life. AND he is donating 10% to charity, something most people who win big wont do.

in the couple days before the final table i was pulling for scotty like crazy...i couldnt help but root for the guy.
i was completely bummed when he got out...still watched the ME live though...at the final table i was going lee all the way, or krevchenko...but no cigar

as for Raymond....what a joke!

hate to tell you this but isnt gambling supposed to be a sin?

i think praying and poker don't go together because well poker is a sin so ya. just throwing that out there

This may have happened in the past, but a lot of religions have been guilty of attrocious things in history. This is why I am dumbfounded as to why Christians are the only group considered PC to target. For example, Ghegis Khan converted to Buddhism, the Muslim religion spread throughout the Middle East by the sword (including into christian areas of the Middle East and Europe, before the Crusades btw, but whatever), the Samurai killed for the Emporor (their God, and lets not forget Nanking), many tribes of various beliefs practice tribalism (which is a PC way of saying racism) and outside of religion, Mao and Stalin were atheists! .(significant considering atheism has only started becoming widespread in the last 150 years). I could go on and on, but research some history and you would find that mankind is surprisingly similar, and few groups were immune from evil.

Making posts calling people idiots is not what Jesus would do.

Don't exactly agree with op comment, but it was no more hateful then what many people have posted on other threads, religious or atheist. I don't get it, if a Christian acts kind and helpful, he is ridiculed (Ned Flanders stereotype), if he acts human, he is ridiculed. It is really a lose/lose situation.

And mine,

Dude, you are acting more hateful then OP's post. Why wasn't this guy targeted? Nevermind, I can think of a dozen reasons why.

Next time a bible thumper knocks on your door, ask them this;

Strictly speaking, Jesus was a bastard (unmarried mother), what do you think of that?

im not a born again christian, but correct me if im wrong...isnt gambling a sin in gods eyes? so if your a christian you shouldnt be playing poker to begin with, right? i have no religion so i was just curious lol.

LMFAO that is brilliant dj i gotta remember that!!!

Calling him childish names more than 3 times in two sentence convinces me you know exactly what you're talking about. </sarcasm>
If you play poker, then you're probably praying for a card one time or another. I think your statement is absurd, has no backing, and certainly an insult to players and Christians alike.

I already said in another thread the praying annoyed me. If I believed in god, I would hope he has better things to do than control who wins the WSOP main event. I also thought his wife praying for god to make Lee Watkinson a "believer" was tacky.

Having said that, the praying annoyed me\, but no more so than Khan's gorilla imitations and Umbreto's stupid shark antics.

Amen.

"I have no god, i have no rules. You have a god, you have rules. You break rules." --- some say

Thats how it happens sometimes.

Out of curiosity, if you get upset about Christians (OP)making hateful comments about an individual, but you make hateful comments about an entire group of people, does that make you a hypocrite? Just curious.

xtream calibur- you're from blacksburg???

i bet there were many people praying on THAT day.

Religion always bring out some much HATE, I wonder why...

I watched the "Main Event" final table, but didn't see anything about christians, praying or religion at all... what did I miss?

Every time Yang got involved in a big hand, he prayed. His most common line was a promise to glorify his father - which although I found it annoying didn't really bother me that much. It was his wife praying to make "believers" out of the other players and asking for them to be "shown the way" that got under my skin. Still, not nearly as annoying as some of the other table antics we were subjected to over the course of the WSOP.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL

I don't see him as being "bad" for poker, just kind of annoying though. More power to him though, he won the biggest event... one I couldn't even afford to buy in to.

Gambling is against God's will?
are you kidding me?

so when God created the world he said, "THERE WILL BE NO GAMBLING!"

and i would like someone to pick out a specific passage from the Bible that states that gambling is "againsts God's will"

this thread is ridiculous...

Jerry Yang is going to be an AMAZING ambassador for poker, whether you like it or not!
