damn near perfect; like when he bullied lee childs off of QQ with JJ, or when he raised all-in with j/8 s lee childs K/j and donked out an 8 on the turn. yup, hes great.

Yang played super-aggressive poker at the final table, but I wouldn't say it was "good" play.
He is certainly the least skilled champion of recent history (maybe ever?). He doubled up Alex K. several times with terrible calls, and made questionable plays throughout.
He certainly got lucky to build a huge chip lead that could absorb the hands he lost.
The key to his success was recognizing that he was the least skilled player there, and utilizing a strategy to neutralize his opponents skills to the greatest extent he could ia preflop play:
He constantly over raised preflop (10x, 5x bb, etc.), which is a good strategy given his chip lead, but also goes to show he has no idea how to play a "small ball" professional style. This "Kill Phil" type strategy was a good idea for him, as he perhaps recognized that he was the "worst" player at the table.
An objective look at the specifics of his play(s), however, shows how poor he really is, desp... | | Read Entire Entry |

No. Hachem called a preflop raise heads-up against Dannenman, who held AK. Flop came 456. He slowplayed - turn A, Dannenman hangs himself, Hachem wins. Hachem was the only one out of the players you named who actually made great plays throughout the final table, and was ahead in all but one of the times all the chips got into the pot for tournament lives. He's quite good.

From a wikipedia article on him, if you read the article it doesn't sound like the horrible player who got lucky as sh** as it seemed from watching the final table.
99.9% of that total live tournament winnings is the $12,033,015 that he won in the main event in 2006 since then his only decent payout was around $30,000 profit from fininshing 35th of 362 at the European WSOP.
I've seen him a few times on poker after dark and the man has ery little skill he won't be competing at a top level for a long time.
Yang I haven't seen much of yet so I cant say one way or another we'll see if he's able to stick around and make a name for himself like Joe Hachem seems to be doing, but if his final table p... | | Read Entire Entry |

While I can say that from what I have seen from WSOP tapes I do not like Jerry Yang. He was a horrid poker player (in my opinion) and annoying as a person.
Just my opinion, he did not deserve that bracelet but without luck no one can get one

You know, every year it's the same......(fill in the blank) won, god he's so horrible, I could whip his ass,yadayadayada. NOBODY likes a frontrunner, it seems. And in poker, it's true, ya know. Get on a rush at the right time, pull a miracle outta your......hat once or twice, you or I could win a major tournament. RRRRright! In every huge tournament, the eventual winner gets the sun shining out his butt at some point, or he wouldn't get there. Look at the past few ME winners: Varconi=joke(although he did cash this year), Moneymaker=joke; the closest he's come to winning anything since was the blind man's bluff title couple years back, Raymer- not a complete joke, smart guy, has exposed a couple of major tells in his game since, Hachem, not a joke, ery solid player......but look at his winning hand. Pushed with a 73os, and caught a 465 flop. J Gold, luckbox, card rack, shoulda been penalized repeatedly for talk/actions, attempted collusion, you name it. Andnow, everybody wants to jump Jerry Yang, 'cause ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Yang is not bad at poker, not bad at all. Did he deserve to win the ME? Who cares, the fact is he did. Do I think he will continue to prosper in the world of poker? Not a chance.
I don't dislike him because of his play, I dislike him because of his praying at the table for cards. And I'm not against religion at all. But the poker table is not the place to do it, at least not out loud. Besides the fact that the Christian God is against games of chance, ie gambling, it makes you wonder exactly how "devout" Yang really is.

from wat i remember, but i dont remember it too well, at the FT with like 4 guys left he had the best hand preflop and called opponent all-ins 2 or 3 times which he got beat, doubling up each of his opponents, so i dont member too many bad plays, but i didnt see the whole event and only remember those few times he got nailed.

Yeah I also saw that "make me a beliver" line from the wife. So in order to make you a believer God must ship you money?
And Jerry is only going to donate 10% of his earnings to charity. From his constant prayers I thought he would donate it all. Well but at least better than anyone else who is not going to donate a cent.

He definitely did not play great poker lol. Bluffing all-in with A4o then winning when you hit the belly straight when you know your opponent has the odds and chips to call your all-in is not playing great poker. Then again I honestly think he didn't take pot odds into consideration there or for the most part. I actually think Jamie Gold would beat J. Yang and I hate Jamie.

While he was catching cards like mad, he was making HORRIBLE calls to other player all ins, granted he won alot of them, his hand wasnt that great, odds were against him, not even pot odds made it right for him to call. watching that man play reminded me of when i started playing and i threw chips around. If i resort to that can i win a championship too? WPT maybe i got a casino about 2 hrs away that has a WPT comitition. all i have to say is AWFUL POKER!
