Yep, a fat Asian psychologist from Cali is the new 2007 WSOP champion.

Only started playing poker a couple of years ago, Jerry Yang, a psychologist from California, became the new Cinderella man of the WSOP after winning the 2007 World Series of Poker main event. He jumped from eight to first at the final table to win this year’s latest competition of poker greats. Well… sort of anyway… Heck, the guy has only been playing for two fucking years.

Jerry Yang took home a $8.25 million payday, beating the other seven players who were fortunate enough to get their asses planted on the final table. Of course, he got the coveted 2007 WSOP bracelet too.

Jerry Yang said, ‘’I study my opponents very carefully, and when I sensed something, when I sensed some weakness, I took a chance. Even if I had nothing, I decided to raise, re-raise, push all-in or make a call.’’

For a guy who’s already 39 years old, this Jerry guy sure talks like he’s Spider-Man, using that spider sense to win in poker. Did I mention he’s 39? The only thing he can sense accurately is probably the time to take a dump.

Yang, an ethnic Hmong immigrant from Laos (of all places…) had nearly the shortest stack of chips as the final nine poker players began playing at noon last Tuesday. It was ironic too, as he was literally the SHORTEST guy on the final table of the 2007 WSOP, standing at 5′3.’’

But just like a typical Jacky Chan movie, the Asian persevered against the towering foreigners who were probably THAT close from asking Yang for some sushi or something.

There are TWO ways to win in poker, one is to improve your game which will definitely take time and a whole lot of practice. Yep, it takes a lot of time, experience learning, introspection and the obvious, HARD WORK.

The other one is MUCH MUCH SIMPLER. The secret to winning in poker? Find bad players. Yep, find players who are worse than you are (if that’s STILL possible) and win their money.

If you are the 10th best player in your neighborhood but have the poor decision of always playing against the nine other players that are better than you, chances are, YOU WILL LOSE. Jeez… You don’t need a rocket scientist to figure that one out right?

Your profit at the poker table is the difference in playing ability between the other players at the table and you.

Of course, looking for bad players shouldn’t be too hard. Look for any poker table. Are there a lot of checkers? Are there a lot of callers? Are there a few raisers? Does the pot always include many players? Do few players fold on the first round of betting?

Yep, these are GOOD poker games with BAD PLAYERS. Or better yet, these are games just waiting for you to win all that cash from the morons playing on the poker table.

Oh yeah, it also helps if the morons sitting there are drinking.

There you go, just some of the tips for you to find BAD PLAYERS and win butt-loads of cash. Oh yeah, I encountered this particular online poker table at PokerStars where the players simply make one terrible mistake after another.
