That was gross. Talk about an abuse of religion. For that, I hope "Father" strikes him down.

I don't get it when people go on about how 'the Lord was watching over me today'.
Surely he was watching over everyone there....or at least the religious ones.

I consider myself an agnostic / borderline atheist. At first I bristled at Yang's religious ranting (begging) at the table, but it seems someone told him to tone it down a bit when he was on dinner break.

That, combined with his interview on pokernews.com in which it is clear he is a deeply religious, humble guy made me like him a lot more. He seems like a real class act that will be good for the game.

I don't think God gives two squirts of piss about Jerry Yang winning the WSOP. Or anyone who every wins a Super Bowl or any of that junk. If he (or she, whatever) does, then I really don't get religion.

Well, I don't really get religion either way. Or maybe I get why people are into it, but I think they're wrong and simple.

I bet you he was asking "What would jesus do?" every hand.

Shove pocket fours god? You're going to give me a set? ok Lord!

Isn't gambling against their religion? Why would god want to support that?

I think there are plenty protestant sects that are fine with things like gambling.. Especially if it is a game of skill like poker (versus throwing away money that could be doing good elsewhere)

For all we know Yang was just doing all that to stick it to Frist.

For all we know God indeed answered his prayers.
