WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)

Just guessing but I would think that having some of his family at the FT played a part in all the prayaments...both because of all the pre-game hallelujahs (you know they had some sort of pre-FT mass or something) and because they are all right there watching, praying, etc. It's contagious to a point and there is some peer pressure to 'show one's faith'.

I'd love to know what was going on with Lee's gf when Lee was all-in. Was she 'mocking' the Yang family? I would guess that during any Yang-all-in there was a lot of praying going on in the stands and lots of hallelujahs after he won. At some point the message becomes; "God loves Jerry more than the rest of you...see...another hand for proof...ooops...see...yet another hand for proof...can there really be any doubt now?...ooops...'nuther hand for proof."

If Yang truly believed that the Lord was with him and was ensuring him a victory then that should make playing the way Yang did easier. Why worry about calling all-in with A-rag when you 'know' the lord will floppeth an Ace vs. KK?

The prayaments don't bother me so much but I'm very hard to tilt. I just don't worry about crap like that...that's Jerry's thing and it appears to be working for him so more power to him. I'd prefer people were more tolerant of things they don't do/like (like maybe...poker) so I try to be tolerant of others.
