Is Jerry Yang the most awkward/creepy poker champion ever?

Add lucky to the list. Just hit a 3 outer to double up AGAIN vs Annie Duke in the Heads Up Championship.

She looks sick to her stomach.

Well Russ Hamilton won a main event and Absolute Poker cheater Phil Tom won a bracelet in a prelim event, so yeah, there are bigger creeps who have won big tournies.

His run to win the main event was very lucky, but that's how you do it. I doubt he has much success in high stakes cash games but I really wouldn't know...if he even plays in them which I doubt as well.

He's terrible. He's worse than Gold but he pretty much gets a free pass because he's a nice guy so people let it slide. He lacks a basic understanding of poker fundamentals.

Yang and Gold may be the two worst main event winners ever.

They are definately the worst players to win since the boom. Russ Hamilton might be the biggest douche bag to win, though.

Annie Duke vs. Jerry Yang in the HU championship was like watching two unholy creatures going at each other. You hope they kill each other but can't look away.

**justaguy** · 06-11-10, 06:51 AM

lol

**serc** · 06-11-10, 08:39 AM

Hahaha, Annie should kick his arse!

**Margin Walker** · 06-11-10, 02:43 PM

Duke finally busted him after he doubled up like 3 times after being like 30% to win pre-flop

**Phightin' Phils** · 06-11-10, 05:47 PM

yeah i agree that jerry yang is a somewhat creepy dude, but not a creep in the sense that hamilton is. as for jamie gold, i do agree that he was the second worst ME winner since the poker boom, but you gotta admit that the guy was pretty entertaining to watch during his run and on high stakes whether you respect his game or not.

**no1here** · 06-11-10, 06:53 PM

No use for him with great dislike as well

**lolbear** · 06-11-10, 06:59 PM

jamie gold is fun to watch only cos he acts in a way that makes people want to punch him

and jyang vs duke... thats not what we ordered

**Ian** · 06-11-10, 11:45 PM

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, c'mon let me win.

**hunterwrot** · 06-13-10, 01:39 AM

jerry yang is a dork. i love when he gets all spiritual.

Whats the difference between being in church and being in a casino?

When you pray in a casino, you actually mean it!

At least he had some balls, when he bluffed Farha that was better than anything Yang did. All Yang did was go all-in and pray.

**wikkidinsane** · 06-19-10, 09:38 AM

Jamie Gold is creepy!

**thechaoz** · 07-11-10, 01:20 PM

He also hit a gutshot with
about 100 totally dominated and endee up winning the main event.Guy life tilts me with his jeebus talk
