Jamie was a trash talker and intimidating while this guy is using his reading effectively as a psychologist. Yes! He did it successfully. The motivation behind as a family and religion have helped him paved his confidence to be more keen on his decision making. I still puzzle until this time whether the prayers have been answered or just a coincidence the way he read the opponents card.

He got caught up in the 08 bank crisis when his funds were stuck. It prevented him from paying his Federal taxes off the 8.2M win. With late fees & penalties, the amount grew to over 600k. The Feds auctioned off his house and properties including his ME bracelet. All he had left was his book deal... From Refugee Camp to Poker Champ

How do you only owe $600,000 to the Feds on $8.2 million of income? That doesn't sound right.

I wish they showed the chip count of the players and cost of antes and blinds in each hand so we'd know the pot size relative to the blinds and players' chip stacks.

U don’t know if it’s a sin. Gambling is different now than 3000 years ago. Times change. Can’t interpret the Bible unless ur an expert, need to understand the time of when it was written and the exact meanings. Otherwise Ull notice it contradicts itself a lot. Like about abortion, alcohol and gay sex. Plus other topics. Sometimes it sounds like it’s ok and other times it sounds like it forbidden.

Jerry yang "I basically learned poker from a correspondence course and from a pamphlet out of a bubble gum machine". Also Child's leads out into a raiser after flatting with QQ then folds to a shove on a 7 hi board, but then calls off his tournament with KJ off LMFAO.

The KJ call was so sick. After laying down the queens lol. But I imagine every pro would call just cause of the flush draw on board.
