Jerry Yang compares poorly to decent 50NL players. Good 50NL players would be following him around the tables sinc ehe's giving away money.

IMO Jamie Gold is slightly less bad.


Raymer and Hachem are pretty good.


I'd be slightly surprised if Jerry Yang could beat .25/.5 $25 max buy-in online for a decent winrate. I'm not entirely sure exactly how bad low stakes live games are so maybe he'd beat 1/2 or 2/5....maybe not though, I'm not sure.

Jerry Yang for one moment in time played exceptional. Anyone who thinks differently is just wrong. Put almost anyone in his situation and they spit the bit. If you watched it live you could really see the ups and downs more.

Personally it would surprise me if Jerry ever did anything significant again but that doesn't matter. For the situation he got in to master it so completely, even just once, was spectacular.

I was talking about this with a friend because poker gets compared to chess a lot but in reality it is more like checkers, in fact, a very simple form of checkers. The key thing that makes poker special is when you take that bad beat how do you handle the adversity. I think Jerry handled it well for the situation he faced.

Does that mean he can beat .25-.50 game, I would imagine it does. Does that make him an all time great? Probably not. But he has 8 million reasons to not care what anyone thinks.

Yang played pretty solid big stack MTT poker, but he's not exceptional or even good enough to beat NL50 like a previous poster said.

He ran well, used the stack, and sucked out. I'd be happy with that and 8,000,000 too.

OP, your leveling is so obvious...
It has to be more subtle to be funny.
Anyway nice try, better luck on your next first post.
