Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

do ya?

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

Hate is a little strong. Why would you hate a man for winning hands?

A little over the top to me.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

Seriously, considering the many many annoying things that go on at a poker table, I don't think Jerry Yang is that bad at all. I kind of get annoyed by the long time he takes before every action, but given the context, it is certainly understandable.

The religious comments, regardless of the fact that are not really appropriate and don't reflect well on him, seem genuine and given the magnitude of the moment, seem understandable to me.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

Yes I hate Morons touting 'God' like that.

So I went and laid some $ against him at Betfair.

Hope a PokerStars qualifier wins, that way we probably get a bonus.

Jerry Yang would be a perfect winner. He calls down with any pair at times, calls allins with A9. A great example for all of our future opponents who dont know any better. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Dear sweet g-d thats genious...now how can we reignite the poker boom now that DAT DER INTRANOOT has been banned by bible thumping MORANS that should have been busy saving our young heroes from a cauldron of Arab death and dismemberment.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

all the jesus christ crap makes me hate his dumb guts.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

I do not like him but him winning won't be bad for poker.

The religious crap is ridiculous. There's no God in poker.

Why hate someone for their religious views? Anyways I like this guy and think him winning is much better than another gold type player. Plus, if he is donating 10% or w/e thats pretty cool of him.

Also, if a religious person wins it then it could help with all the other religious people saying gambling is bad....you can ask them why God let Yang win then.

Meh, you can never win these arguments. They'll probably say it was a test of faith or something :-)

and the rest to his church

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

bargaining on a card with jesus makes you suck at life. i dislike "those kind of christians". i also dislike all fanatics. i think yang would be bad for poker, unless he donates everything to christianity at which point it's hard to argue that he's bad for poker. dumb scenario either way.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

can't stand that holy roller bullshat, what a douche

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

um who cares? this board has a lot of very small intolerant minds, really. I can't see how he bothers any mature human being. Live and let live.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

jerry yang is the embodiment of that guy who calls your all-in in an MTT with KQo or 98s and sucks out every single time

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

Lol at the the Christian haters.

Family guy donating thousands to charity. Guy must be a scumbag.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?

Thats a tough one. I guess it would be go for PR but that is alot of money taken out of the poker economy.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

Haha, I have those chips and they TOTALLY rule.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

You can't HATE someone who is giving to charity.
You can DISLIKE someone who is spouting religion at the final table. Don't know who said it---
THERES NO GAMBLING IN CHURCH AND THERE IS NO PRAYING AT THE POKER TABLE. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt for the .005% chance he somehow curries the favor of the right-wing fundamentalist bastards in DC trying to bend us over the confessional booth like Massachussets altar boys.

To all of the Christianity haters in this thread, would somebody please tell me which verse in the Bible says not to play poker or participate in any other type of gambling for that fact. I've read my Bible cover to cover & I don't recall seeing it.

If Jerry Yang wants to show his faith at the table then let him do it. He's just expressing himself. Sounds like alot of you are jealous. GG Jerry.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

i can't tell which is funnier, the Ronald McDonald at his laptop pic or the "God shoots craps" line

anyway, i'm pretty sure Yang winning is way more likely to be awesome than not for us poker players

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
 

I don't care about the religion stuff, and glad to see him giving to some charity so I think he is a good winner so far

As a Christian myself I know many Christians feel gambling is wrong. Fine. I disagree. We might disagree on other small points in our faith. We agree on the most important issue of all and that is what matters.

I just don't see why a seemingly a genuinely nice guy, a family man wins everyone goes nuts bashing him. As for the folks bashing him for donating 10% to charity....what if Barry G. had won?
