hmm.... where i come from you dont hate on someone for thier religious beliefs. do i agree with " praying " at the table? im not sure. can it really affect the outcome of my hand? its my " personal " belief that one or one hundred people " praying " for a particular card wont make it appear. you could hate this dude for sporting the FullTilt gear and collecting the 10 million dollar bonus for winning the final table. my " personal " belief is he looked corny at the final table. whatever. i do enjoy all the " christian " references and dialog. i am disappointed there wasnt any president bush comments. do i have a problem with some " christian " guy in really lame clothes praying at the table? personally, i could give a rats ass. just a word of caution though, if some emo wiccan type ends up at the final table next year, does a little chant, throws some salt over his shoulder and lights a candle and then hits his card on the river to win the series, i think were gonna have to consider a ban of religious expression in poker

who cares

I don't mind the fact that he prayed for cards to fall. We all do it in our heads anyways. The fact of the matter is that a us citizen won the event. Perhaps that might serve the entire poker community towards making progress to stop all the bans we are currently faced with. Although, I doubt this will happen, one can only hope. Stop hating the players and start looking at your political leaders if you are a us citizen. That's my piece.

This moron is sooo bad for poker. While people are praying for their 8 yr old child to have a remission in their cancer, this idiot is praying for a blank on the turn. The guy is sickening to poker players and Christians.

you and your 1 post are bad for poker.

Not that bad

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.

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

Casting the first stone, yadda, yadda.

Why are so many Christians so very not-like-Christ in their behavior? I never got that. It often seems like they don't even try, as if merely calling themselves "Christian" means that they get to behave any way they like and still claim moral superiority.

Yeah, it's a pet peeve of mine.
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.

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.

I think Hachem has been good for the game. We have seen him final table after his main event win. Like the Short Handed WSOP were he lost heads up V Dutch Boyd. He finished 4th in a PL hold em event and has played some good poker on Poker After Dark. So I think we can include Joe Hachem as a Main Event winner doing good things for poker.

On the subject of Jerry Yang I think that if he was a bad Christian he wouldn't pledge some of his winnings to various charities. For the game, I think that if he continues to prove that he wasn't a fluke then nobody will say a word against him. I am sure that people like Chan and Hellmuth had doubters claiming they were one hit wonders after there 1st main event wins. Lets see what he can do before making a judgement


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.

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

yang

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.
