From yesterday's LA Times - Article on Jerry Yang (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-poker24jul24,1,7699888.story?ctrack=1&cset=true) :

"Two years ago, Yang had played only blackjack. He taught himself poker by watching the World Series on ESPN and reading books before entering small tournaments in Southern California once a week."

"Yang's low-key training included one DVD by poker legend Phil Hellmuth and a handful of poker books, most of which Yang hasn't finished reading."

He could dodge bullets, baby!

You forgot lots of practice, and obviously he retained some important concepts and implemented them.
