I've been away from the poker scene and am serious about his results. On a poker profile I saw one tournament in October where he got 14th last year.

Has he played anything else? Is he affiliated with a site? S

he is a disciple for jesuspoker.com

who cares? hes never going to win another tournament in his life

if hes doing good with the money the hating should seriously stop.....sure he was a douche to an extent, but if hes true to his word we really shouldnt be hating

lets be honest folks.....ANYONE who wins a tourney with 5k++ ppl and cameras everywhere can be shown to be lucky probably at least 10 times t/o the tourney (or many more).....we dont see all the hands, and hating for the sake of hating gets noone anywhere

Why was he a douche? BTW bad poker player does not = douche

The only douche at those last 2 tables was Kenny Tran

but in all serious any of you buffoons calling Jerry Yang a doush or a freak are just sooooo out of line and ignornant it's amazing all this man did was handle himself with class and dignity throughout the tournament shaking people's hands giving interviews non-stop and making the world a better place to to the of 825,000.00 dollars. I'd like to know how many of you clowns would be selfless enough to give back to charity and humble enough to admit your not one of the best as Jerry Yang has done on many occasions in multiple post victory interviews. Bottomline is its just a normal guy under extraordinary circumstances and so belittling him because he's not poker pro extraordinaire is flat out stupid he doesn't claim to be great so show a little class or even a shread of dignity and respect Jerry Yang as a person who has done great charity work and is a nice person the fact of the matter is whether he's a great player or not is really irrelevant he's representing the game well and he's working hard on his game that's all he can do and if that's not good enough for some of you then that's just too bad

longest, and worst, sentence ever... do you know what a comma is?

also, the fact is the guy rubbed a lot of ppl the wrong way with his Jesus act, so he is gonna take some shit for it... deal with it

you misinterpret what I meant by "act," I did not mean he was actually acting... had nothing to do with the sincerity of it

kenny tran had karma fk him when he decided to open his mouth when he wasnt in the hand. im not religious or anyhting but when he did that i felt he was way out of line. Jerry ang is a little goofy but seems genuine and friendly. I cant stand theat bernard lee i think his name is? always kissing the picture of his kids soo annoying. like hes the only one playing for his children out there or something.

This. A donkey lucksack with a horrible attitude who's an asshole to everyone is WAY worse than a donkey lucksack religious fanatic who might piss people off, but isn't overly obnoxious ON PURPOSE. Watching Jerry Yang praying for his hands to hold up just makes me roll my eyes and laugh at him; Jamie Gold's bullshit pisses me off way way way more. At least Jerry Yang did something good for the rest of the world with his winnings, and hasn't continued to be a blight upon the rest of the poker world.

A few friends of mine have seen Jerry play super sat's for main event seats in indian casinos in the area (Fresno). He moved his family back from LA after his win last year. He wasn't a guest or there for promotional reasons, just trying to satty in... I don't think he's much of a gambler in life and holds his cash pretty tight.
