ya'll are idiots, to win the main event, it takes alot of skill and patience. I know there is alot of luck involved, but you can't Not mention the skill. The people who diss him are the losing players that are just jealous.

i think some people (or "idiots") genuinely feel he isn't that good at the game of poker. however, any disdain i have in my heart for Mr. Yang is based entirely upon the way he acts...btw, you just made me think of my new possible Cake screen name: yangHOFskillOriginally Posted by Marcus5

Kinda the way he acted like God had a will for him to win a poker tournament. I'm not very religious but was he calling him his father because he thinks he is the new JC? All in all though he seems like an good guy with some messed up religious views that probably came from him having a rough upbringing.Originally Posted by SirCrafty
I admit Jerry Yang is a very charitable guy and a a world class person as an individual, but part of me wants to spit in his egg foo yung for acting like he deserves any respect as a player. he is very bad. far worse than any other ME winner imo, and every year at day 1 of the ME (which is the only time hes ever been featured on TV or anywhere since '07) he acts like hes some sort of poker god. fat face. -

So Many Haters in this world!
If I won that much money I'd thank the Lord too. I don't care how good of a poker player you are you have to be very fortunate to win the Main Event.
Too many landmines.
You are all hypocrites. We have all asked for cards. Whether you begged the dealer, rubbed your lucky rock, your jade, etc.
Jealousy makes you look so pathetic -

Not sure how praying in front of other people qualifies as pushing your religion on others, but whatever. Pretty sure he wasn't handing out bibles to the crowd or anything. Seems like a genuinely nice, normal guy, also not sure why he would need his ass whooped. Not like he talks a lot of shit or acts douchey afaik. I can think of a lot of people off the top of my head that need their asses beat before Yang. OP is probably one.

He def does talk a lot. Douchey? I don't think so. He seems genuinely excited to play poker.
I don't know the man at all and have never met him, so I'm mostly talking out of my ass from what I've seen on TV, as is pretty much everyone in this thread, so meh. -

he is excited to play poker and bink 8mill, yes
i met him while railing the NBC heads-up matches this past spring at Caesars--he was humble and nice like Mr. Miyagi (camera wasn't rolling, just sayin). I would prefer to not see him during any 1/2 hour show.
again, we practically agree here -

You missed the point. lol
Does anyone else ever wonder why EVERY SINGLE main event champion in recent memory pretty much has to prove themselves in other mtt's before they get the respect of a true professional? Oh yeah its bc its a fucking luckbox who wins it every year now. Yup, thats right. -

I loved jerry praying to god to let him win poker hands......made me LOL pretty hard so fking ridiculous on many levels... Yeah I really dislike jerry yang,hachem,gold, varkoni....and they all seem to play pretty bad poker and are grade A douchebags. Moneymaker seems like a pretty nice likeable character...not sure how good is game is though. Raymer doesnt seem like bad guy either, and seems to play a really good aggresive game. Eastgate is just the man all around...cool guy and imo the best ME winner in recent years hands down.

Who's the trucker? You mean Darvin Moon, the logger?

More importantly, the more it is shown that "anyone can win" the more poker looks like a game of luck to the world. Phil Ivey winning is the best thing that could happen to poker.
