1) Have no heart
2) Play scared
3) Disregard everything you know about your opponent
4) Pay no attention to how much of your stack you have already committed
5) Put Yang on AcKc and wuss out

You shouldn't but in his defense: Normally we avoid games where we play with scared money. We do this by choosing games we are properly bankrolled and games that are of a stakes that we are mentally comfortable with. I can see how when playing at the final table of the WSOP main event, it would be easier to play too cautious like he did, even for a normally aggressive player. I think this is the one reason why J.Yang won the thing. It was particularly evident by watching it live with no hole cards. He was just not afraid and capatilized on all hesitence. 1 million!

Poker development-
Phase 1: uber-noob... instacall Yang's push with QQ with zero analysis
Phase 2: overanalyze the situations, see monsters under the bed everywhere and make the "great laydown"
Phase 3: set Yang up and insta-call, if he's got a set or AA/KK or a draw and sucks out, then good for Yang

I know I've gone through Phase 2... I guess this is where this guy is at. Oh wells.
