Sturg1647545502 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 An interesting piece on the 2007 WSOP winner Jerry Yang. He started out his life in his refugee camp in Thailand, became a clinical psychologist in CA and then used his skills of reading people to win the tourney after only playing for 2 years!

2highpsi Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Dude caught ridiculous cards, and got extremely lucky multiple times. I am not saying he is bad, I just doubt he ever wins again. No different than Darvin Moon (2009 runner up) who I have mopped the floor with at Wheeling Island. (and I am far from a great player) When it comes to cards, all the skill in the world can't beat a streak of good luck BUT it does make for a good story, and probably helps sell the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
