I'm not a huge poster here :club: but as a christian, what jerry has been doing makes me a little uncomfortable. I understand having faith and that prayer is what drives a christian, but I've always felt that God kinda stays out of this kind of stuff(gambling, sports, etc). Give glory to God if you win, lose or draw but calling upon his name, while all in, praying for a card, kinda cheapens it and open yourself(and God) to ridicule. BUT mostly I believe it isn't a good witness to others. That said, I just hope it is a good final table. Lots of action and lots of good poker. We can only hope :)Big willey... Peace
Yeah, this final table is going to be excruciating if every time someone is all in against him (which could be often) he starts acting like he has God on his side.

God gambled with the devil for Job's soullook it up in the Bibleother than that part, i think i agree with you, depends on your personal definition of giving bad witness

I agree. I bet, when this comes out on TV, that he gets a lot of grief for all the praying at the table.

I think the hating on Jerry isn't all play based, as much as it's his personality when he's all in. Similar to a lot of the hate on Jamie Gold when he was a complete *** DURING every hand.

Some of you guys are acting like Jerry is sucking out left and right. He's been running this table over.
Yes, I have been bashing Yang too from the very beginning, but even I give him more credit than most here it seems.

If Jerry doesn't win, I'm STILL going to church for a bit after that sick "FATHER GIMME AN 8" and Childs "GIMME SOME CLUBS" AND THEN GOD STICKING THE 8 OF CLUBS.
God is even worse than Lee Jones. So rigged.

he may of got a read that a guy open shoving for 40x the BB might be on a steal with less than A 9....didnt yang get killed for his 10x the bb raise????
I actually agree with you. Every forum was filled with the "me winner is a donk" every year after Moneymaker won. The A9 call while questionable was not an insta move on his part. Personally I thought Lee was pushing light there. EDIT: I will agree he is annoying though

SHIP IT!!!!!!Let's go Jerry, get those crazy asians out to the casinos in droves!!!!!
Can anyone check the Chinese zodiac, this may be year of the Donkey.(Yes, I realize there is no year of the donkey in the zodiac, but i'm pretty sure they'll make an exception now. At least Yang will be able to get his picture on placemats in chinese restaurants)

I hate your avatar. Grimstar on 2+2 has that same one and he is soooo annoying.

I can't believe how the play has gone so far. Lee raising all in for $7 million with A7? Jerry Yang calling with A9?
